Quatuor Agate drew its name from Brahms’ Sextet No. 2, dedicated to the composer’s second love, Agathe von Siebold. For this programme, it pairs Ligeti’s quite Bartókian Quartet No. 1 and Dvořák’s Quartet No. 13, a triumph among his chamber music.

This string quartet is presented by the Kunzerthaus Dortmund, the Kölner Philharmonie and the Philharmonie de Paris.
