During the festival edition of 2024, many talented young string quartets can be heard. In the program section “Grass Roots”, the String Quartet Biennial presents three promises of the future: Quatuor Confluence, Isidore String Quartet and Quartetto Indaco. With an inventive approach to the repertoire, these three string quartets represent the youngest generation, a generation that is aware of the present and past.

This concert presents winners of three major string quartet competitions. All three will perform music that will showcase their character as a string quartet. The American Isidore Quartet won the Banff International String Quartet Competition,  the French Quatuor Confluence took home the first prize at the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition and the Italian Quartetto Indaco won the first prize at the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition.
