Lyle Chan - String QUARTET
Arvo Part - FRATRES
Airat Ichmouratov - String QUARTET 4
Mendelssohn wrote his String QUARTET NO. 2, Op. 13 in 1827, deeply
inspired by Beethoven’s last QUARTETS.
Lyle Chan’s new work will be the continuation of ACACIA’s close
relationship with the Australian composer.
FRATRES BY ESTONIAN ARVO PART HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A “mesmerising
set of variations on a six-bar theme combining frantic activity and
sublime stillness”.
Airat Ichmouratov: “String QUARTET NO. 4, Op. 35, ‘Time and
Fate’ was composed during the spring of 2012, right after the tragic
death of Eleonora Turovsky, who was like a second mother to me.”
