This journey has resulted in a wide repertoire and stunning depth of expression\, which carries on the string quartet tradition in a unique manner. The ensemble has found its core in a warm\, full\, human sound and an egalitarian balance between high and low voices. This approach allows the quartet to maintain a healthy relationship between individual expression and a transparent and respectful presentation of the composer’s work. It is also the drive and motivation for the continuing refinement of its interpretations of the classical repertoire as well as exploration of new epochs.

Wolfgang Rihm \nThe String Quartet\, founded in Berlin in 2019\, can hardly be described more aptly than in the review published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in January 2022. The ensemble is framed by brothers Jonathan and Lukas Schwarz on first violin and cello\, while the middle voices are formed by Amelie Wallner on second violin and Mayu Konoe on viola. Leonkoro\, in Esperanto: Lionheart\,alludes not coincidentally to Astrid Lindgren’s children’s book about two brothers\, a book that juxtaposes the grave reality of death with a large and heartfelt yearning for comfort and solace – a sentiment that string quartet repertoire addresses in several instances.

These musicians are not confined by traditional boundaries. It is perhaps the very fact of their diverse cultural backgrounds that is behind their dynamic and free interpretative style. Founded at the Royal College of Music in London in 1994\, the quartet is based in Great Britain. However\, the Romanian violinist Corina Belcea and the Polish violist Krzysztof Chorzelski\, the two founder members\, bring a very different artistic provenance to the ensemble while drawing from the best traditions of string quartet playing received from the quartet’s mentors: the members of the Alban Berg and Amadeus Quartets. This spectrum is extended by the French musicians Axel Schacher (violin) and Antoine Lederlin (violoncello). The Belcea Quartet blends its diverse influences into a common musical language. ​[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/belcea-quartet/ LOCATION:Mary Seaton Room\, 3 Symphony Circle\, Buffalo\, 14201\, United States CATEGORIES:Buffalo Chamber Music Society,Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/06/Untitled-design-9.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210919T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210919T150000 DTSTAMP:20260507T203403 CREATED:20210607T154219Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210817T164723Z UID:3723-1632063600-1632063600@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:Buffalo Chamber Music Society | Benjamin Baker\, violin DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Buffalo Chamber Music Society presents violinist Benjamin Baker at Kleinhans Music Hall. \nThe violinist Benjamin Baker already has a busy concert schedule\, with concerto\, recital and chamber performances around the world.
