About the event
From Haydn's serenity to Shostakovich's dark intensity — Quartetto Lago builds a programme that shows both poles of the genre. In between: a short quartet by a contemporary Italian composer, written for the church's acoustic.
Programme
- J. Haydn — Quartet Op. 76 No. 4 'Sunrise'
- Contemporary Italian composer — 'Lago' (2026)
- D. Shostakovich — Quartet No. 8 in C minor, Op. 110
