Programme

Overview

Join the Javus Quartett for an electrifying chamber music evening: Grażyna Bacewicz’s precise String Quartet No. 3, Dmitri Shostakovich’s emotionally charged String Quartet No. 8, and the world premiere of Oscar Jockel’s new work. Tradition meets modern innovation in a programme of crystalline clarity and bold expression.In an evening that weaves mid-century precision with contemporary daring, the Javus Quartett opens with Grażyna Bacewicz’s String Quartet No. 3, where crystalline counterpoint and formal clarity intertwine with surprising rhythmic vitality. The programme’s emotional centre arrives with Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8, built on the composer’s own musical signature; its haunting motifs and stark contrasts evoke both personal reflection and communal resolve. The concert culminates in the world premiere of Oscar Jockel’s new quartet, a bold work that melds lyrical figuration with unexpected harmonic turns and showcases the ensemble’s unique synergy shaped by their Salzburg roots and Viennese energy. This captivating journey through past and present promises an immersive chamber music experience of profound depth and vitality.
