We are honored and thrilled to welcome the Magenta Quartet , who will join us for an exceptional program with La Belle Saison The program will feature: Quartet for 4 Violins by G. Bacewicz Verklärte Nacht by A. Schoenberg Octet by F. Mendelssohn We will be performing together at the following events: • September 19 – Festival de Sceaux • January 10 – Les Allées Chantent • January 18 – Théâtre de Saint-Omer • January 30 – Théâtre de Coulommiers • February 9 – Le Méjan in Arles • February 10 – Les Bouffes du Nord

We are thrilled to announce the release of our latest album, Impressions Parisiennes , on Alpha Classics! This project is especially dear to us, as it celebrates the richness and elegance of the French repertoire through transcriptions of masterpieces by Ravel, Satie, Debussy, Poulenc, and Fauré. These composers, emblematic of French music, have profoundly influenced musical history with their sensitivity and refinement. To complete this tribute, we are pleased to present an original composition by Baptiste Trotignon . His piece, titled Ces Messieurs, also pays homage to these five composers by offering a contemporary and original resonance that blends harmoniously with the rest of the program. We hope you will enjoy discovering this album as much as we enjoyed preparing it.

Invitant six acolytes, le Quatuor Van Kuijk fête son dixième anniversaire en retraçant une partie de son aventure sous forme de voyage dans le temps et l’espace musical. Émotion garantie. Jubilation en prime.

"...close attention to Mendelssohn’s detailed markings and a spirit of youthful, spontaneous ardour."  "...a Mendelssohn recital of rare flair and insight"

Après trois enregistrements consacrés à Mozart et salués par la critique, le quatuor Van Kuijk poursuit sa collaboration avec le label Alpha. Mais cette fois-ci, c'est à Felix Mendelssohn et ses quatuors qu'il s'attaque. C'est notre disque du jour !
