ADAM Quartet

Sunday, 29 September 2024 | 3pm

Join us for a captivating exploration of the intricate yet fascinating relationship between words and music by the ADAM Quartet. The repertoire will include the music of Barry Guy and Franz Joseph Haydn carefully combined with the poetry of Samuel Beckett and the scripture that inspired Haydn’s work. The ADAM Quartet will guide you through a reflection that will embody verbal and non-verbal experiences through music.

The concert is organised within the framework of MERITA, an online and offline platform that increases the visibility and circulation of 38 young European string quartets and which is co-funded by The European Union. Europa Nostra is one of the 16 members of the consortium coordinated by Le Dimore del Quartetto.

The ADAM Quartet is looking for ways to shine its own light on the string quartet while staying true to the essence of the genre. In recent years, the quartet has performed at major Dutch venues and festivals, including Het Concertgebouw, Tivoli Vredenburg, String Quartet Biennale Amsterdam, Birds of Paradise Festival, Stift Festival, Klassifest, Down the Rabbit Hole, Schiermonnikoog Festival and the Storioni Festival. Next season, the ADAM Quartet will perform in the United States, Ireland, England, Poland and the Netherlands.

Besides playing the traditional string quartet repertoire, the quartet enjoys collaborating with contemporary composers and in this way premieres many new works. Among others, Kika Sprangers, Camiel Jansen and Vinthya Perinpanathan composed music for the quartet. The ADAM Quartet's contemporary perspective also allows for collaborations with other musical styles and disciplines. For instance, they collaborated with Icelandic pop singer Laufey and dance collective ISH.
