A masterful evening awaits you! What first appears to be an understated programme culminates in an exuberant feast of magnificent sound poetry. The musicians of the Taurus Quartet have chosen compositions that stand out for their versatile treatment of the string sounds. It will come as no surprise that the Piano Quintet by the Belgian composer Joseph Ryelandt is one of his best-loved works. And with Brahms’ Third String Quartet, there is also a substantial classic on the programme. The Taurus musicians’ subtle ‘joie de vivre’ places both these icons in an entirely new light. Finally there is Daan Janssens’ Second String Quartet. As Artistic Director and Conductor of the Nadar Ensemble he is often bold, but in his own oeuvre he is more of a romanticist who repeatedly touches a chord.
