Join the Tesla Quartet on an exciting journey through the six monumental string quartets of Béla Bartók as the Quartet embarks on its first performance of the complete cycle. For the Tesla Quartet’s six week Bartók-fest we will explore how this music sways our innermost passions, to a depth and at a pace designed to entertain, inform, and engage our listeners. Each week will focus on a single quartet and will begin with a discussion with hugely inspiring experts, performers, composers and musicologists who have unique and personal relationships to Bartók’s String Quartets. The second day is an open rehearsal of the week’s quartet, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at the Tesla’s working process. Each week will culminate with the Tesla Quartet’s live-stream performance of Bartók’s work, followed by a Q&A with our subscribers, viewable to anyone watching the performance. The two-legged journey will be split between March and May/June, with three quartets featured in each three-week period, and will be supplemented with social media content and prize giveaways!
