TETRAKTYS

TETRAKTYS

TUESDAY 25 JUNE 19.30, Alternative Stage

The clear, full-bodied sound, the stylistic elegance, and the passion that distinguish the performances of the Tetraktys string quartet, founded in 2008 in Athens, quickly established it as one of the most pioneering of its kind across Europe. The quartet's highly eclectic and extensive repertoire reflects, besides the deep love of its members for classical masterpieces, their keen interest in modern musical experimentation. At the concert given by the explosive quartet at the Summer Nostos Festival, it will perform the String Quartet in F major, Op. 18 No. 1 by Beethoven (1778-1800), the String Quartet No. 3 (1983) by Schittke, and Steve Reich's Triple Quartet (1998). The members of Tetraktys are Giorgos Panagiotidis, a member of the Ensemble Modern based in Frankfurt; Kostas Panagiotidis, a member of the GNO Orchestra in Athens; Megumi Kasakawa, a member of Ensemble Modern in Frankfurt; and Dimitris Travlos, a member of the Athens State Orchestra.

Program:
L.V.BEETHOVEN String Quartet in F major, Op. 18 No. 1 (1778- 1800), ALFRED SCHNITTKE String Quartet No. 3 (1983), STEVE REICH Triple Quartet (1998).
