Full program notes

Bacewicz String Quartet No. 4
and
Debussy Quartet in G minor
Debussy's only string quartet is one of the most popular and well regarded quartets in the literature! He constructs the entire work around one rhythmic, powerful theme, a construction which is mirrored in Bacewicz's fourth quartet. Bacewicz is an infrequently played Polish female composer, and this quartet, like Debussy's, is rhythmic, propulsive, and deeply melodic. We can't wait to present these two works in conversation with each other!
