Details
OpensoundQuartet is an ensemble of soloists of the Moscow OpensoundOrchestra, which specializes on the 20th – 21st century’s music performance. The first violin of the quartet – in every sense – is played by the founder of the orchestra, violinist, conductor, and concertmaster of the Studio for New Music ensemble Stanislav Malyshev. The concert given by OpensoundQuartet at Dom Radio is part of its tour across seven Russian cities.
The concert programme is built to form a gallery of spectacular examples of quartet writing created by major figures of Russian and world contemporary music and representing different faces of minimalism.
