Leonkoro Quartet
Haydn String Quartet in C Major Op. 33 No. 3 ‘The Bird’
Ravel String Quartet
Founded in Berlin in 2019, and recent winners of the Wigmore Hall String Quartet Competition, the Leonkoro Quartet ‘has enormous stage presence, glows for the music, takes full risks and amazes with its empathy for the respective sound of the pieces’.
The ensemble is framed by brothers Jonathan and Lukas Schwarz on first violin and cello, with Amelie Wallner on second violin and Mayu Konoe on viola providing the middle voices. ‘Leonkoro’, meaning ‘Lionheart’ in Esperanto, alludes to Astrid Lindgren’s children’s book about two brothers; a book that juxtaposes the grave reality of death with a heartfelt consolation, a theme which frequently runs through the quartet’s music.
