IN CONVERSATION – With Pierre Colombet and Gabriel Le Magadure of Quatuor Ebène
Host Zev Kane talks with the violinists of Quatuor Ebène, Pierre Colombet and Gabriel Le Magadure. Their Beethoven Around the World project, a series of performances of Beethoven's string quartets on 6 continents, was supposed to culminate in a series of performances of all 16 quartets at Carnegie Hall, but was cancelled when concert halls closed due to the COVID19 pandemic. They talk about their favorite quartets, the origins of Beethoven Around the World, and what it's like to start rehearsing together again after spending several months apart.
