Agate Quartet

In association with YCAT

Prize-winners at the 2021 YCAT International Auditions, the Paris-based Quatuor Agate present contrasting portraits of two women – one confronting her own mortality, the other immortalised through art.

Dinuk Wijeratne String Quartet The Disappearance of Lisa Gherardini (2022)
Schubert String Quartet in D minor, D.810 Death and the Maiden

Schubert himself probably knew that he was dying when he based his doom-laden D minor quartet on his musical memento mori Death and the Maiden. Sri Lankan composer Dinuk Wijeratne’s new ‘escapade’ for string quartet pictures the enigmatic model for Leonardo’s Mona Lisa and the painting’s real-life theft from the Louvre in 1911
