Concert followed by a musical surprise

Artist in residence this season, the Quatuor Ébène joins an unusual cast on stage this evening. Alongside the Luxembourg Philharmonic, the ensemble performs Absolute Jest by John Adams. This concerto for string quartet and orchestra was inspired by the late string quartets of Ludwig van Beethoven; in this programme, it is flanked by works by Igor Stravinsky and Alexander Scriabin. Before the concert, Claire Paolacci will give a lecture in French on fragments in 20th-century music at the Salle de Musique de Chambre at 18:45.
