One last time.
'When I listen to a string quartet, it feels as if I am eavesdropping on a conversation between four intelligent people,' wrote Goethe in 1829. In Håkonshallen, one of the most legendary quartets of our time takes the stage.
Formed in 1981 by siblings Lukas, Veronika, Clemens and Angelika Hagen, the quartet quickly established itself at the very highest international level. In a shifting world full of turmoil and uncertainty, the Hagen Quartet has been a constant presence. They have, in a way, always been here – through cold and hot wars, the fall of the Soviet Union, the arrival of the internet, four popes and a pandemic. They are now on their farewell tour, and in Bergen you have an exclusive opportunity to experience the quartet one last time.
On this evening they perform some of the true treasures of the quartet repertoire, works that have stood the test of time: Beethoven’s Quartet No. 16, Haydn’s Quartet No. 54, and Schubert’s Quartet No. 14.
