Sharing the heart of music

The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam is a regular ensemble at Villa Augustus and for good reason: the foursome is considered one of today's most creative and versatile string quartets. With a philosophy of "sharing the heart of music," the quartet believes that chamber music is an act of friendship that should be shared directly and in concert with the audience.

With the program "Terra Memoria," the quartet presents a movingly beautiful program that touches you deep down. In addition to music by Gesualdo, Mussorgsky and Liszt, this concert features Schubert's masterful string quartet Der Tot und das Mädchen, one of the saddest and best works in chamber music literature. Death also plays an important role in Saariaho's second string quartet Terra Memoria. She juxtaposes the immobile state of the departed with the still-evolving memories we cherish of them. In those memories they live on.

"We show and hear that the music we play is neither old nor new, but always current " - Dudok Quartet Amsterdam.

The Dudok Quartet consists of: Judith van Driel (violin), Marleen Wester (violin), Marie-Louise de Jong (viola) and David Faber (cello).

Program:

  • Kaija Saariaho - Terra Memoria
  • Carlo Gesualdo - Moro Lasso, al mio duolo

  • Franz Liszt - Via Crucis - XIII. Jesus wird vom Kreuz genommen
