Toshio Hosokawa: Blossoming (2007) Alberto Posadas: Aborescencias (belgian premiere), Section IV from Liturgia Fractal (2007) Claude Debussy: String quartet A thrilling concert showcasing the unlimited textural diversity of the string quartet, brought to you by the award-winning Quatuor Diotima. The bustling yet delicate textures of Hosokawa's Blossoming compliment the finely detailed and controlled chaos of Posadas's Aborescencias, which forms the fourth section of his quartet cycle, Liturgia Fractal. Both these works, composed in 2007 and 2008 respectively, show contemporary quartet-writing at its most colourful, and are heard against the backdrop of Debussy's sublimely sensuous G minor quartet. The young performers of Quatuor Diotima infuse their repertoire with a fascinating intensity that will captivate the audience's imagination.
