Arditti Quartet
Tamara Stefanovich, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Jonas Olsson piano


A chance to gain an extended insight into the three Featured Composers at this year’s Festival – Julian Anderson, Rebecca Saunders and Benedict Mason. While their music is so different that it’s easy to forget the instruments are the same – each has written pieces for string quartet and pieces for piano, giving us a fascinating opportunity to compare their approaches. One of the world’s leading contemporary music quartets, the Ardittis, join a group of outstanding pianists for a typically ambitious exploration.
