In tandem with his Artist Portrait series with the LSO, the charismatic viola soloist Antoine Tamestit curates a complementary chamber music series with a cast of his closest musical friends.

For this concert Tamestit is joined by the Paris-based Arod Quartet. The programme gets underway with the Arod Quartet’s rendition of Bartók’s buzzing String Quartet No 3, before a solo performance showcasing the dynamic contrasts of Kurtág’s Signs, Games and Messages. The concert draws to a close with Tamestit and the Arod Quartet together playing Mozart’s String Quintet No 3 – a joyful, uplifting conclusion.
