Open your ears to the exceptional instrumental lineup and timbre! To stimulate the classical music scene with a rather rare setting featuring two pianists and two percussionists, the Makrokosmos Quartet has worked tirelessly with contemporary composers to create new voices for the 21st century.
The Swiss-based Makrokosmos Quartet will revisit some of their career-defining works in their Hong Kong debut, including Bela Bartok's pivotal Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, which calls for two percussive pianos against seven percussion instruments; Stravinsky's groundbreaking masterpiece The Rite of Spring, scaled for quartet setting but with the same explosive magnitude guaranteed; as well as Swiss composer Xavier Dayer's score for a short film by Carlo Ippolito. The powerful chemistry between the four phenomenal virtuosi will certainly spice up your musical palette!
