Monte-Carlo Spring Arts Festival: concert by the Quatuor Diotima

Monte-Carlo Spring Arts Festival: concert by the Quatuor Diotima onFriday 22 March 2019, at 8.30 pm, Hôtel de Paris – Salle Empire.

On the programme: Ludwig van Beethoven and Alexandros Markeas

The Diotima Quartet are as talented in the contemporary repertoire as romantic music and have created a new form of prowess: you could call it “stylistic” prowess as they are at ease no matter the repertoire. Franco-Greek composer Alexandros Markeas focuses on noise, electronics, repetition and especially the borders that disappear between genres in his music. When it comes to the new piece that he’s performing in a world first, Beethoven’s music hasn’t aged a day! Its innovative power is still as fascinating and modern despite the 200 year gap between the two composers!
