Ébène Quartet

Segerstrom Center for the Arts

“Every year, a string quartet comes to the Bay Area and wows me. In 2024, that group was the Quatuor Ébène” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Energy and exhilaration are words that are often used to describe their performances, with critics like Bachtrack’s proclaiming it “hard to imagine string quartet playing at once more diverse and more brilliant than this…the possibilities of a string quartet were shown to be boundless.”

This Parisian quartet is among one of the best in the world and is always a “circle-the-date” concert on the series. The Ébène shows off its scintillating technique, lush sound, and awe-inspiring togetherness in masterworks of the literature.
