Beethoven around the world: step #6 - Kenya

With an endless modernity, the 16 quartets by Beethoven totally escape from the austere and elite’s image of classical music. For the eye, it is a treasure map; for the ears, an odyssey. For the mind, it is both a powerful stimulus and a call for fraternity. ​

2019 - 2020: Quatuor Ébène will celebrate Beethoven’s 250th Birthday by performing all
his string quartets around the world.
All along this odyssey, the Quatuor Ébène will record a 7 CD box for Erato Warner.
Their adventure will be followed in a documentary film, showing their encounters with all kind
of audiences during this journey.
​
Highly receptive to Beethoven’s message, they begin a trip both musical and humanist under the theme of the environmental responsibility.
​2020 will also be the 20th anniversary of Quatuor Ébène.
