Quatuor Diotima’s concerts have two very special qualities: the fresh insights that the players bring to the classical repertoire by pairing it with newer music, and the intense communication between them as they play.  Quartets from three different eras open with Berg’s early work which looks back to the Romantic, rather than forward to his mature style.  Inspired by time spent in Berlin, and the evidence of the once-divided city, Thomas Simaku’s work, premiered by Diotima in 2015, is cast in two sections.  The ‘Rosamunde’ Quartet finishes the concert in a mood of reflective optimism.  Quatuor Diotima is a University Artist-in-Association.
