Beethoven's Grosse Fuge is one of the towering achievements of European culture. The concert also includes Webern's delightful Bagatelles opus 9 and Schoenberg's expressionistic String Quartet No 2 for which they are joined by soprano Barbara Hannigan.

Barbara Hannigan: 'the 8 minute theatrical tour-de-force left her spent and the audience roaring. Who said the avant-garde can't be fun?' (New York Newsday)

'Irvine Arditti, a god in contemporary virtuoso performance.' (The Herald)

'The world's pre-eminent contemporary music quartet.' (The Guardian)
