Modigliani Quartet

The Modigliani String Quartet, praised by the Süddeutsche Zeitung as “one of today’s best quartets in the world,” returns to Kansas City with a program pairing a recent work by Czech composer Kryštof Mařatka with two landmarks of the quartet repertoire. Inspired by a portrait by Amedeo Modigliani, Mařatka’s Amedea explores themes of love, timelessness, and passion, placing a contemporary voice in dialogue with tradition. The program continues with Claude Debussy’s groundbreaking Quartet in G minor and concludes with Robert Schumann’s Quartet in A major, a deeply expressive work from his seminal chamber music year of 1842.

There will be a pre-concert talk with Dr. Paul Laird at 6:15 PM
