The Chiaroscuro Quartet brings together artists from Russia, Sweden, Spain and France performing music of the Classical and early Romantic periods on gut strings and with historical bows. The London-based ensemble’s unique sound is highly acclaimed by both audiences and critics all over Europe. This programme features the first three string quartets of Haydn's landmark and groundbreaking Opus 20, considered the very blueprint for the genre.
