Aside from several instrumental classes for individual musicians and offers for young ensembles and chamber music formations, the impuls Academy 2025 for the first time was specifically inviting young string quartets to join and work with Quatuor Diotima, one of the most in-demand string quartets in the world today. On top, a Call for Scores has been set up by impuls, to interconnect young composer Academy participants with both Quatuor Diotima for feedback, readings and partly also more intense rehearsals, and to get them work together also with the young string quartets on spot.
With Chaos String Quartet, Kandinsky Quartet as well as Percaso String Quartet three young and coming formations are involved in this program this year. Tonight two of them together with Quatuor Diotima bring in the harvest of their work. The Percaso String Quartet was already present at the impuls MinuteConcerts on February 22nd as well as on February 23rd, and also the Chaos String Quartet (18.2.) as well as the Kandinsky Quartet 19.2. presented string quartet classics from Webern and Ligeti up to current works by composers such as Clara Iannotta und Francesca Verunelli.
