Chamber music with strings and percussion

Five musicians from the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra present a curated selection of contemporary works close to their hearts. Each composer challenges the traditional string quartet, searching for a new identity. Through a dialogue with percussion, technology, rhythm, and memory, an unexpected transformation unfolds – one experienced with striking intimacy. This programme draws the listener into a profound connection between musician and score. It does not abandon tradition but sets it in motion, creating an immersive journey where the boundaries of the classical quartet are beautifully redefined.
