Art Isn’t Easy


The Arditti Quartet concentrates on works from the last fifty years, along with very new music, mostly repertoire specially written for the ensemble to premiere.  They do not work with composers from fields such as jazz, pop or crossover.  - adapted from Wikipedia, s,v “Arditti Quartet”


The string quartet formed by Arditti

Gives programs, both modern and meaty.

He never was one

To play music that’s fun

In spite of repeated entreaty.
