Arola Quartet (Janáček Brno 2026)

Description

The concert of the Arola Quartet, laureate of the 31st International Leoš Janáček Competition in Brno, will feature three extraordinary pillars of 20th-century quartet literature. Janáček's Quartet, inspired by L. N. Tolstoy's "Kreutzer Sonata," reveals the dramatic depth of human passions and suffering, while Dmitri Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 in C minor represents a personal musical confession "written with the blood of the heart." The program concludes with Bartók's String Quartet No. 4 in C major, a work that captivates with its experimental sound, rhythmic energy, and courage to transcend the boundaries of tradition.
