Their performances of Haydn’s quartets are becoming legendary and they start with his D major Quartet Op. 33 No. 6. At the heart of the concerts lie the first performances of a new quartet by acclaimed Dublin-born composer Garth Knox and they conclude with Janàček’s famously vivid and impassioned story of spiritual love.
