A programme of MUSE String Quartet Festival
繆思弦樂四重奏音樂節節目

“…as gorgeous as any ensemble in recent memory… immaculately articulated exuberance.” – The Strad

Over the past two decades, the Paris-based Quatuor Ébène has redefined excellence in both classical and modern repertoires. Their “boundless” (Bachtrack) creativity has fascinated concertgoers around the world and earned them prestigious awards, including Gramophone, Choc Classica, Diapason d’Or, and BBC Music Magazine accolades.

In this concert, discover the joyful exuberance of Beethoven’s inaugural quartet and the intricate depth of the Grosse Fuge, originally intended as the finale of his expansive Op. 130. Additionally, Quatuor Ébène will present the Hong Kong premiere of Self-portrait in three colors, an exciting new work written by their former cellist, Raphaël Merlin, co-commissioned by HKU MUSE.

「媲美近年任何樂團…….完美展現蓬勃活力」——《The Strad》

過去二十多年，來自巴黎的艾班四重奏以極致精湛的表現駕馭古典至現代的曲目。他們「 不拘一格」（《Bachtrack》）的創造力風靡各地樂迷，並先後贏得留聲機古典音樂大獎、法國古典雜誌CHOC大獎、法國金音叉大獎、以及 BBC 音樂雜誌獎等多項殊榮。

在繆思弦樂四重奏音樂節中，他們將帶來貝多芬充滿愉悦活力的首部弦樂四重奏，以及登峰造極的晚期作品 130和原為其最終樂章的《大賦格曲》。此外，艾班四重奏亦會帶來前大提琴手拉斐爾‧梅林（Raphaël Merlin）的《三色自畫像》在香港的首演。此作品由繆思樂季共同委約創作。
