Professional piano quartets are rare, and the Berlin-based Notos Quartet has carved a unique path through the international chamber music landscape: they are a staple of performance calendars from Beijing to Vienna, sweeping top prizes at Dutch, English, Italian and Chinese competitions. Renowned for their interpretative style and ‘virtuosic brilliance’, the Notos Quartet is committed to showcasing the breadth and diversity of repertoire written for piano quartet. In 2017, the Notos Quartet recorded the world premiere of Béla Bartók’s recently discovered piano quartet to great acclaim, and the Quartet has been the dedicatee of many recent contributions to the genre.

This program features one of those contemporary perspectives: American composer and guitarist Bryce Dessner’s 2020 quartet Spirals (commissioned by the Notos Quartet) dialogues with two quartets in E flat – Mozart at his most gently delighted, and Schumann in roiling high spirits. This concert offers a chance to revel in world-class musicianship and to discover a truly unique ensemble genre.
