Emigrated Russian Composers | Utrecht String Quartet

Doors Open: 19:30

Concert Starts: 20:00

Behind the iconic facade of 215 Laan van Meerdervoort in The Hague, chamber music concerts are held on a regular basis. There, in the intimate setting of the Davidsbündler Music Academy's salon, the Utrecht String Quartet will perform works by Arthur Lourié, Soulima Stravinsky and Alexander Glazunov - Russian composers who chose to emigrate to the West as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution. Largely not well-known to the general public, these pieces are wonderful to experience on a winter’s night!
