Performance October 20
The Arod Quartet is one of the leading lights of the new generation of string quartets; and is a chamber music group that has dazzled chamber music lovers.
Le Monde said that it is “no longer a question of common life but fusion of beings”. Alexandre Vu, a violinist with the quartet said that the quartet “makes it look like one person with four different instruments, from four different personalities, from different people just to make the quartet one unique instrument.”
Established in 2013, the Paris-based Arod Quartet took First Prize at the Carl Nielsen Chamber Music Competition in Copenhagen in 2015, first prize at the Munich ARD Competition in 2016. And in 2017 it was appointed “BBC New Generation Artist” for the 2017 to 2019 seasons.
