Arcadia Quartet

Arcadia Quartet

Ana Török and Răsvan Dumitru violins
Traian Boală viola, Zsolt Török cello

Haydn   Quartet in B flat Op 33 No 4
Weinberg   Quartet No 15
Beethoven   Quartet in F Op 59 No 1

 

Winners of the 2012 London International String Quartet Competition, the Arcadia Quartet from Romania comes to Leamington for the third time. Interest in the Polish composer Mieczysław Weinberg, who was befriended by Shostakovich when, being Jewish, he fled to Russia in World War Two, has increased enormously in recent years. Weinberg wrote seven operas and 17 string quartets and we hope to programme more of this works in the future.

Coming to Leamington for the first time, they play Haydn’s evergreen Quartet Op 76 No 1, alongside the first of Beethoven’s legendary late quartets and Howard Skempton’s Tendrils as a tribute for his 75th birthday.
