The French ensemble Ébène returns to the Black Diamond at the Royal Danish Library to perform a selection from Beethoven's sixteen string quartets. This evening brings together No. 3, from his early Viennese Classical period, No. 8, one of the three Razumovsky quartets, and No. 11, the last work from his middle period.
In 2020, Ébène released a recording of all sixteen quartets, made in locations across the world, and was widely praised for its contemporary reading of the music. This concert is part of a six-part series covering the complete cycle, so the evening offers a chance to hear the wider arc of Beethoven's development as a composer.
