Quartet XII: Schubert and Cage – At the Edge of Sound
St Martin-in-the-Fields, The Crypt , WC2N 4JJ , [Venue Details]Join Quartet XII – four dedicated members of the 12 Ensemble – for a programme that ventures to the extremes of musical sound and silence.
This is a deep dive into the art of the string quartet, contrasting two works that define the “Edge of Sound.”
The programme begins with John Cage’s FOUR, a piece that embraces luminous stillness and profound concentration. By focusing on sustained tones and long periods of silence, Cage invites the listener to experience the very texture of sound as it emerges and dissolves, pushing the limits of musical expectation.
