Performer: Quatuor Ébène

In the lead-up to the Beethoven anniversary year, the Quatuor Ébène gives a complete Beethoven quartet cycle in Tokyo as part of the annual Suntory Hall Chamber Music Garden festival.

The Quatuor Ébène deliver striking clarity and deep musical understanding in performances of Mozart, Debussy and Brahms. 

A concert of Mendelssohn and Enescu octets which proves that eight can be more than four plus four.

Sometimes you just marvel at the level of musical inspiration and the virtuosic quality of the playing. The two octets by Mendelssohn and Enescu make a very satisfying pairing.

A programme consisting of works from three different centuries illustrated the French ensemble's versatility and acumen. 

Violin dealers J & A Beare celebrate its 130th anniversary in lavish style by bringing together eight of the Cremona luthier’s exceptional instruments for a concert directed by Dutch violinist, Janine Jansen. 

Ahead of the 2026 ARD International Music Competition, Quatuor Ébène’s Pierre Colombet and Gabriel Le Magadure talk about the competition’s transformative effect on their career, performing Beethoven around the world, and advocating for chamber music.

Virtuosity and grace meet with impeccable provenance and immense value – in an all-Stradivarius concert at Cadogan Hall this December.
