Matinee: Ménage à quatre

Quatuor Arod is among the most interesting quartets of the young generation. One of the quartet’s musical friends is Klaus Mäkelä, a marvel as a conductor and honest and passionate as a cellist. The quintet has previously gone all out in Schubert’s magnificent String Quintet and will lovingly do so again at the String Quartet Biennale Amsterdam.

Master filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon knows how to capture the inspiration of musicians worldwide with his camera. From Glenn Gould and Mstislav Rostropovich to the young guard: what drives them, what is their passion? He made Ménage à quatre, about Quatuor Arod.
