Praised for their ‘immaculate precision and spirit’ (The Strad) and ‘cultured tone’ (The Arts Desk), the Solem Quartet has established itself as one of the most innovative and adventurous quartets of its generation. A 2020 awardee of the Jerwood Arts Live Work Fund, one of 33 artists selected from more than 1200 applicants, the Solem Quartet takes its place amongst some of the UK’s brightest artistic voices.
Following pieces by the remarkable Boulanger sisters, they play a work by the American composer, singer and choreographer Meredith Monk, and Debussy’s exploratory early string quartet.
