Programme Note
Performing together since 2013, the Marmen Quartet have a reputation for the courage, vitality and intensity of their performances. Early in their formation, the Marmen worked with the late Peter Cropper of Sheffield’s Lindsay String Quartet, who said, “Performing is all about communication. It’s telling a story and I feel the Marmen are dedicated to this ideal.” They have performed extensively in Europe and in the USA, winning performance prizes and critical plaudits that prove that this early impression has only grown to characterise their performances throughout. In January 2025, the Marmen Quartet published their second recording (BIS2693) – their first as sole artist, with works by Ligeti and Bartók, that highlights their commitment to clear communication.
Continuing the Festival theme of anniversaries, the Marmen Quartet include in their programme the popular String Quartet by Maurice Ravel for whom 2025 is the 150th anniversary of his birth.
