Piano Quartet Ensemble Lalo: The Passion of Vienna Unofficial

Formed in 2004, the piano quartet Ensemble Lalo will take the stage in Kyoto, bringing with them the passion of Vienna. Blending a rich tradition of chamber music with an innovative approach, the ensemble—which has earned high acclaim on stages around the world, including Carnegie Hall—will present a selection of masterpieces by three modern composers from Central and Eastern Europe in this performance. Members Diana Kettler, Alexander Sitkovetsky, Razvan Popovici, and Naoki Hedenborg—each from diverse backgrounds—will fully bring to life the charm of these compositions, which combine national character, spirituality, and profound formal beauty. This promises to be a precious moment brimming with poetic, highly structured sounds woven from diverse talents and the creative possibilities of chamber music. Please come and enjoy the sublime ensemble performance they will present at this historic autumn music festival.
