Description
Black composers from three centuries: the Rothko String Quartet presents five exciting personalities from the USA, France, and Great Britain. The young ensemble carries voices neglected in the mainstream in their hearts – and to the stage. The musicians themselves will moderate the programme rich in contrasts featuring works ranging from classical and elegant to improvisational and free.
