The Beauty of the Gesture

Show & Culture

Pop music is not the only domain for remixes. In his Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Johannes Brahms uses a motif from his predecessor for eight impressive variations. While Sara Glojnarić twists the codes of pop music, renowned minimalist composer John Adams explores all the rhythmic possibilities of Beethoven's late quartets in Absolute Jest, with Beethoven's music also brilliantly opening this concert. Victor Jacob and the wonderful musicians of Quatuor Diotima will guide the audience through this dazzling journey.
