France’s Quatuor Van Kuijk is one of the world’s fastest-rising string quartets. In their Carnegie Hall debut, they perform Beethoven’s favorite string quartet: Op. 131. Brimming with confidence and innovations both formal and technical, this astonishingly original late work represents a high point of the art form. Another quintessential string quartet follows, as the ensemble showcases why their ongoing Felix Mendelssohn survey was included in Gramophone’s Best Classical Music Albums of 2022. Between these formidable quartets, they perform several of Fauré’s wonderful mélodies.

Shining at the top of a new wave of guitarists, Sean Shibe creates imaginative programs aglow with innovation, new music, and passionate insights into classics. The Guardian enthused, “What’s really striking is the way in which Shibe sustains a world of intensity and introspection through playing that buzzes with vitality.” Named BBC New Generation Artists, the Van Kuijk Quartet’s “unanimity, tonal blend and intonation are close to flawless” (Gramophone).
