Business Overview
The theme of this project was “New and Old Quartets ”. In addition to string quartets, which have long been the foundation of Western music, the program was presented with an instrument composition that included different ensembles (New instruments and techniques not normally used in orchestras, such as saxophones, percussion instruments, keyboard instruments, electronic instruments, and electric guitars.) that went beyond the traditional framework of the same quartets. The program was intended to share the potential of future chamber music by reflecting on tradition and innovation with the audience.
