This event has passed.
Coinciding with Opera North’s mainstage production of The Cunning Little Vixen, the Škampa Quartet bring their unrivalled instinct for the accents and rhythms of Czech music to Janáček’s Quartet No. 1 ‘Kreutzer Sonata’ and Dvořák’s Quartet in G major.
Mozart’s String Quartet 21 in D major, ‘The Violet’ – the first of the ‘Prussian’ quartets written for King Friedrich Wilhelm II – opens the programme.
Formed in Prague in 1989, the Škampa Quartet is one of the finest string quartets in the world, earning their place in the great Czech tradition of chamber music with a long list of successful recordings and major prizes. Their original research into their country’s folk traditions – notably the influence of Moravian music on Janáček – colours their playing vividly, and has made them a benchmark for authentic performance of the Czech repertoire.
