With the courage, vitality and intensity of its performances, the Marmen Quartet is fast establishing itself as one of the most impressive and engaging talents in chamber music, demonstrated by recent first prizes at the prestigious Bordeaux and Banff International String Quartet Competitions. The quartet has performed at leading European venues including Wigmore Hall, Berlin Philharmonie, Boulez Saal, Frankfurt Alte Oper, Stockholm Konserthuset, Milton Court (Barbican), Palladium Malmö and Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, with festival appearances at BBC Proms, Lockenhaus, Mecklenburg Vorpommern, Rheingau, Heidelberg and Zeister Musiekdagen festivals and the Amsterdam, Barcelona and Gulbenkian Foundation String Quartet Biennale Festivals.

The concert program includes Beethoven’s String Quartet in F Minor Op. 95 “Serioso;” Bartók’s String Quartet no. 3; and Mozart’s String Quartet in C Major K. 465 “Dissonance.”

“What is special about the art of the British ensemble is its committed playing, the liveliness that does not aim to find a flawlessly distilled sound: Here one experiences a fresh, honest, human way of making music. The Marmen Quartet shines, opens up the work and shows what great music can do: intellectually stimulate and, above all, to be moving.” Süddeutsche Zeitung
