The Arditti Quartet has garnered international acclaim for their spirited and technically refined interpretations of contemporary music. Since its founding in 1974, the quartet has given world premieres of quartets by such composers as Thomas Adès, Benjamin Britten, John Cage, Brian Ferneyhough, Sofia Gubaidulina, Toshio Hosokawa, and György Kurtág. The group’s extensive discography boasts over 200 recordings. They have been awarded the Deutsche Schallplatten Preis multiple times and have received three Gramophone Awards, and to date they are the only ensemble to have received the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize, awarded to them in 1999 for their “lifetime achievement” in music.
Tickets are $20 for the general public and $5 for students with valid ID.
