An exceptional opportunity to hear the work of Joseph Haydn, ‘the father of the string quartet’, played by one of today’s most celebrated ensembles on a very rare UK visit.

Founded in Austria in 1985 by four members of legendary ensemble Concentus Musicus Wien, Quatuor Mosaïques is the most prominent period-instrument quartet performing today. Playing on period gut-stringed instruments, they specialize in the music of the 18th century and have received critical acclaim throughout the world for their thoughtful and authentic interpretations, including several Gramophone Awards for their Haydn recordings.

Quatuor Mosaïques is a repeat guest of the Edinburgh International Festival, and the quartet regularly performs in Vienna, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and Berlin’s Philharmonic Hall.

‘elegant, detailed phrasing and carefully wrought playing.’
