Information - Ipswich Chamber Music Society – Marmen Quartet
We are delighted to welcome back the Marmen Quartet (marmenquartet.com), who opened our 2022-23 season with a programme that juxtaposed Haydn and Beethoven with Webern and John Cage. Formed in 2013 at the Royal College of Music in London and mentored for a time by the late Peter Cropper of Lindsay Quartet fame (and an Old Ipswichian), the group have recently released their debut recording – two quartets by Ligeti plus Bartók’s No. 4.
Their concert for us this season will once again include quartets by Haydn and Beethoven, Op. 135 being the last major work Beethoven completed before his death. In between we shall hear Bartók’s innovative and semi-autobiographical Second Quartet, and a short piece written in 2011 by the Canadian-British composer Cassandra Miller.
