Each time the Ébène Quartet takes the stage at Princeton University Concerts, they leave the audience spellbound, always craving more. Their highly anticipated return—by overwhelming demand—brings a program that showcases the full range of their exceptional artistry. From one of Mozart’s rare string quartets in a minor key, which reveals an emotional depth that would go on to influence generations of composers, to Ravel’s only String Quartet, a groundbreaking work that broke free from traditional forms, and finally Brahms’ String Quartet Op. 51 No. 2, a masterpiece shaped over nearly eight years of meticulous devotion. This program, where passion, innovation, and craftsmanship converge at the highest level, is a powerful testament to the Ébène Quartet’s unparalleled mastery.
