Ricercare: Quartets in Quarantine

With Vlad Bogdanas, Astrid Schween, Judith van Driel, and Cibrán Sierra.

The String Quartet Biennale Amsterdam goes live! Now that playing together is impossible, we take Goethe’s metaphor for string quartet – ‘a rational conversation among four people’ – literally; over the next few weeks, every week we’ll bring together four different players of four different string quartets in conversations called ‘Ricercare: Quartets in Quarantine’. This way we explore (with Cuarteto Quiroga’s Cibrán Sierra as moderator) what this quarantine means for string quartets all over the world.  The second conversation is between: Cibrán Sierra (Cuarteto Quiroga), Mark Steinberg (Brentano Quartet), Hugo Ticciati (O/Modernt String Quartet) & Annette Walther (Signum Quartett).
