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 the winner of the Osaka String Quartet Competition. 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, and the French Quatuor Confluence took home the first prize at the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition. The winner of the Osaka International String Competition will be announced in May of 2023.
