What better way to wrap up our mainstage season than with a visit back to Paris in springtime, courtesy of a 150th birthday celebration of Maurice Ravel!

Culminating in La Valse -- his blockbuster homage to the ultimate midnight ball -- the LSO will be sure to once again "raise the roof" with another thrilling performance!

Formed in 2016 at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne, Germany, the quartet comprises four musicians who have been friends since their youth: Wonhee Bae and Yuna Ha on violin, Dimitri Murrath on viola, and Ye-Eun Heo on cello. The ensemble has rapidly gained a worldwide reputation for its exceptional artistry and achievement, winning the prestigious Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition in 2018, along with several other accolades.

The Esmé Quartet is acclaimed for its spellbinding dynamics, stylistically assured interpretations, and precision ensemble playing. Their performances are known for their warm sound and powerful stage presence, bringing together four distinct musical personalities into a cohesive, close-knit group passionately dedicated to the string quartet repertoire. The ensemble has performed at renowned venues and festivals worldwide, including the Lucerne Festival, Wigmore Hall, and the Aix-en-Provence festival, among others.

Their program features a rich selection of works, including Mozart's String Quartet in D Major, K. 575, Ligeti's String Quartet No. 1, and Schubert's String Quartet in G Major, D. 887. These pieces showcase the quartet's ability to navigate a diverse range of musical styles with depth and precision. The Esmé Quartet continues to captivate audiences with their compelling performances and dedication to the art of the string quartet.
