20 Years of Quatuor Modigliani

The Paris based Quatuor Modigliani, founded in 2003, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023 and Music at Oxford is thrilled to be bringing them to Oxford for the very first time, to celebrate. Originally formed at the Conservatoire de Paris, the quartet are now considered one of the world’s best.

The programme features a selection of the Quartet’s favourite pieces including a new work by Jean Frédéric Neuburger commissioned specifically for their anniversary. The conclusion of the concert will be Beethoven’s String Quartet No 13, Op 130, one of his renowned late quartets. The finale of the work will be Beethoven’s Grand Fugue Op 133.

‘There’s a bright, youthful spark to the Modigliani quartet’s playing –and I mean youthful in the best possible way‘ The Guardian

‘One of today’s best quartets in the world… Balance, transparency, symphonic comprehension, confident style, their performance reached a very high and inspiring level.’ Süddeutsche Zeitung
