Winner of First Prize at the Geneva International Music Competition in 2011, the four musicians have since explored many horizons, performing on major stages and collaborating with the label La Dolce Volta for their last six albums.<br \/>\nBeneath the starry vault of the Chapelle de Condat, the Herm\u00e8s will perform Haydn\u2019s quartet \u201cHow do you do?\u201d, the fifth piece of Op. 33, nicknamed after its brief interrogative opening motif. The composer plays here with a language full of subtlety, delighting in surprising the listener\u2014particularly through the then-new scherzo form.<br \/>\nThe first of Prokofiev\u2019s two quartets, written in the rare key of B minor, breaks with the conventions of the genre. Its Andante finale\u2014intense and melancholic\u2014gradually fades away, leaving us suspended over a void.<br \/>\nSmetana completes this Slavic program with his deeply autobiographical quartet \u201cFrom My Life\u201d, retracing his passionate youth devoted to art, his discovery of folk music, his first love, the power of national music, and ultimately the tragedy of his early deafness.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"editor\">\n<p><strong><em>Programme <\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"39\" data-end=\"111\"><strong data-start=\"39\" data-end=\"55\">Joseph Haydn,<\/strong> \u201cRussian\u201d String Quartet Op. 33 No. 5 \u201cHow do you do?\u201d<br \/>\n<strong data-start=\"114\" data-end=\"134\">Sergei Prokofiev,<\/strong> String Quartet No. 1, Op. 50<br \/>\n<strong>Bed\u0159ich Smetana,<\/strong> String Quartet No. 1 \u201cFrom My Life\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4515,"template":"","categories":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vibrefestival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evenement\/4470"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vibrefestival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evenement"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vibrefestival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/evenement"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vibrefestival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vibrefestival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vibrefestival.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
