For this 4th edition, the Nuit du Quatuor® (Quartet Night) finds itself once again in the mythical Water Lilies exhibit space, committing itself to the Musée de l’Orangerie’s new ambitions for Nuit Blanche.
Once more, the best international ensembles such as the Agate, Piatti, Harold, Elmire, Kuss, Arod, Yako, Mona, Cheng, Maurice, and also Tchalik Quartets will perform master works from today’s and yesterday’s repertoire.
Passing along the passion of string quartet playing is the spirit of the Nuit du Quatuor. 3 new works composed during the ProQuartet composition workshop at the Paris Conservatory will enrich the repertoire.
We wish you a new and unforgettable Nuit du Quatuor®.
