The Geneva-based Terpsycordes Quartet was founded in 1997. Drawing vitality from their contrasting origins - members hail from Italy, Bulgaria and Switzerland - its members give dazzling performances for audiences of major concert seasons and festivals around the globe. The muse Terpsichore is their inspiration. Terpsichore is music's mythological daughter, who links earth (terre), spirit (psy) and strings (cordes).
They will perform Mozart's String Quartet "Spring", Darbellay's String Quartet "Couleurs" and Schubert's String Quartet "Death and Maiden".
7:30 pm, March 17. Multifunctional Theater, National Center for the Performing Arts, Beijing. 010-6655-0000.
