Programme

WEBERN Langsamer Satz
WIDMANN String Quartet No. 9 (Beethoven Study IV)
BEETHOVEN String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 131

“Already one of the finest: perfectly unanimous, colourful, and original” – Alfred Brendel

Founded in Berlin in 2019 and named after the Esperanto word for ‘lionheart’, the Leonkoro Quartet has rapidly risen to international prominence. Within their first three years, they claimed First Prizes at both the Wigmore Hall and the Bordeaux International String Quartet Competitions. Capturing hearts across Europe’s leading venues and festivals, their playing unites youthful energy with mature insight, placing them among the most exciting ensembles of their generation.

HKU MUSE proudly presents the Quartet’s Hong Kong debut, inviting music lovers to experience this young ensemble live. Their programme opens with Webern’s lyrical Langsamer Satz, written as an assignment for his teacher Arnold Schoenberg, followed by Jörg Widmann’s Beethoven Study IV, a bold reflection on Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 131. The evening concludes with the Quartet’s full performance of Op. 131, a thrilling summit of passion, vision, and profound intensity.

獅子之心四重奏於2019年在柏林成立，短短數年間迅速躍升為國際音樂界的矚目新星。創團首三年，他們已嶄露頭角，先後奪得倫敦威格摩音樂廳及波爾多國際弦樂四重奏大賽首獎。他們融合青春活力與成熟洞察力的演奏，征服了歐洲各大頂尖音樂廳與音樂節的觀眾。已故鋼琴大師布蘭德爾盛讚他們「已然躋身最優秀之列，合奏渾然一體，音色瑰麗多彩，並充滿原創精神」。

港大繆思樂季隆重呈獻其香港首演，誠邀樂迷共賞這支備受矚目的年輕樂團。音樂會以魏本的《慢板樂章》揭開序幕，此曲源自他師從荀伯克時的習作；隨後演奏德國作曲家兼單簧管演奏家韋特文的力作《貝多芬專論IV》，此曲旨在向貝多芬弦樂四重奏作品131 致敬。作為節目壓軸，四位音樂家將以兼具活力與深度的精湛演奏，為觀眾完整呈現這部貝多芬晚期的巔峰之作。
