Concentus Moraviae: Quartetto di Cremona

Since its foundation in 2000, the Quartetto di Cremona has built a worldwide reputation as a virtuoso and progressive chamber ensemble. Our festival is also pleased that the quartet's violist – Simone Gramaglia – is one of this year's dramaturgs. And the dramaturgical experience can also be heard in the concert program: it will take us from the elegant one-movement Italian Serenade by the Austrian Hugo Wolf, through the impressionistically dazzlingly colorful Ravel String Quartet to the only purely instrumental work by Giuseppe Verdi, who is the universally recognized personification of Italian music.
