Quatuor Ébène constructs Beethoven's sound cathedrals in Munich

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the renowned Quatuor Ébène will appear at the Munich Prinzregententheater. The third part of the Beethoven cycle features three central string quartets: op. 18 No. 1, the so-called Harp Quartet op. 74, and the grand Rasumowsky Quartet op. 59 No. 3.

Beethoven between architecture and emotion

The Quatuor Ébène approaches Beethoven's music with extraordinary sonic flexibility, rhythmic precision, and a pronounced dramatic sensitivity. The four voices of the ensemble intertwine like precisely placed building blocks, creating a vibrant musical architecture from motifs, contrasts, and pauses.

String Quartet No. 1 F major op. 18/1 combines classic clarity with surprising shifts in tension. In the Harp Quartet op. 74, finely graduated sound areas open up, while String Quartet No. 9 C major op. 59/3, with its expansive dramaturgy, ranks among the most demanding works of the cycle.

Four musicians, one breathing sound body

The stage performance of the Quatuor Ébène thrives on close synchronization, differentiated articulation, and an exceptional sensitivity to musical timing. Each voice remains sharply delineated, while a common sound emerges that oscillates between chamber music intimacy and orchestral impact.

The ensemble was founded in 1999 and gained international attention in 2004 by winning the ARD Music Competition. Awards such as the Belmont Prize, the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award, the Frankfurt Music Prize, and the Musikfest Bremen Prize underscore its outstanding position in the international chamber music scene.

Beethoven cycle with a worldwide backstory

For its highly praised recording of all 16 Beethoven string quartets, the Quatuor Ébène played on six continents between 2019 and 2020. The project combined historical depth with a modern, immediate sound language and led to internationally awarded recordings.

Beyond the classical repertoire, the quartet's versatility is evident. With projects between jazz, pop, and improvised music, the ensemble has expanded its musical expression while maintaining the precision of classical quartet tradition.
