| Ebène Quartet: U.S. summer festivals tour – August 2010 |

Ebène Quartet: U.S. summer festivals tour – August 2010 The Ebène Quartet makes important summer festival debuts in the U.S. this month, beginning on August 17 at the Saratoga Chamber Music Festival. Additional concerts follow at Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival (Aug 18), Tanglewood’s Seiji Ozawa Hall (Aug 19), and Woodstock’s Maverick Concerts (Aug 22). Featured tour programs include music by Mozart (Divertimento, K.136), Beethoven (Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131), and Bartók (String Quartet No. 1). Program/venue details follow. The Ebène Quartet burst onto the international concert scene with a debut recording for Virgin Classics featuring works by three French composers: Debussy, Fauré, and Ravel. The widely acclaimed album, released in the U.S. in October 2008, was named Gramophone’s 2009 Record of the Year. Reviewing live performances by the Ebène in New York in spring 2009, the New Yorker’s Alex Ross observed: “Their performance of the Ravel Quartet was a riot of nuance, sometimes raptly lyrical and sometimes swingingly rhythmic. A recent Virgin Classics CD of the Ravel, Debussy, and Fauré quartets shows similar virtues. In a wacky encore, which involved both playing and humming variations on ‘Some Day My Prince Will Come,’ the Ebène revealed that they don’t take themselves too seriously. They seem bound for greatness all the same.” The quartet’s most recent release was an all-Brahms album. They recently recorded an album of non-classical music that will be released in the fall. A 13-city tour of North America in spring 2011 (March 31 – Apr 17) will begin with performances by the Ebène at the Savannah Music Festival, and will include performances in Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall in New York City (Apr 8). Tour details: August 17 Mozart, Bartók, Debussy, and Beethoven Saratoga Chamber Music Festival, Saratoga Performing Arts Center (Saratoga Springs, NY) August 18 Mozart and Beethoven Mostly Mozart Festival, Late-Night at Kaplan Penthouse, Lincoln Center (New York, NY) August 19 Mozart, Bartók, and Beethoven Tanglewood Festival, Seiji Ozawa Hall (Lenox, MA) August 22 Mozart, Bartók, and Beethoven Maverick Concerts (Woodstock, NY) |
