Konzerthaus Berlin: Alinde Quartet
About the Event
Experience an enchanting evening with the Alinde Quartet at Konzerthaus Berlin, where they will perform compositions by SJ Hanke, Schubert, and Marc Migó.
Named after Franz Schubert's beloved song 'Alinde,' the quartet is immersed in an ambitious initiative to record all of the youthful composer's string quartets, in collaboration with Hänssler Classic and Deutschlandfunk.
This initiative is distinguished by its blend of historical and contemporary influences, as each album features a new work inspired by Schubert, connecting the past with the present. The complete series will be released by 2028, commemorating Schubert's 200th birthday. The program includes two of Schubert's quartets, notably the poignant 'Death and the Maiden', along with a new piece influenced by Schubert and a quartet by emerging Catalan composer Marc Migó, rooted in the traditional Sardana dance.
Program
- SJ Hanke – 'Fever Sketches' (Homage to Schubert)
- Franz Schubert – String Quartet in B‐flat major, D 112; String Quartet in D minor, D 810 ('Death and the Maiden')
- M. Migó – String Quartet No. 2 ('Sardana‐Quodlibet')
Program is subject to change
