SOI Music Director Marat Bisengaliev and Ralph de Souza, former violinist of the Endellion String Quartet, together with members of the SOI perform an evening of chamber music. Haydn’s Op.76 quartets are considered to be among his most ambitious chamber works, with No. 1 nicknamed ‘Jack-in-the-box’ after the humorously surprising coda of its finale. Modelled on Debussy’s quartet written 10 years earlier, Ravel’s first and only quartet, displays emotional reticence and technical mastery with innovation, in favour of a return to classic standards.
