One of Europe’s leading young string quartets, the Fibonacci Quartet have already made a name for themselves in the UK, and abroad, as prolific competition winners. They are a Resident Ensemble at the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia in Madrid.
They play two Czech string quartets with intensely personal significance for their composers. Janáček’s outpouring of love for a younger woman is set against Smetana looking back over his life and career, and confronting the reality of hearing loss.
