Following on from the success of the first workshop in January 2021, the Solem Quartet host ‘Writing for Quartet’ workshop #2, as part of their ongoing celebration of groundbreaking string quartet writing. ‘Writing for Quartet’ is a strand of the Quartet’s Beethoven Bartók Now project.Composers of all ages, levels, and backgrounds are encouraged to join us for a Zoom meeting - please spread the word! We will be taking questions, demonstrating techniques, and performing short excerpts of submitted works. In addition to this, we will also be delving into the detail of one of the great contemporary music quartets, Thomas Ades' The Four Quarters.

This is a free online Zoom event - but reserving a free ticket is essential. The Zoom link will become available just before the event.

If you would like us to play a short segment of a work you are writing, and are happy for that work to be discussed in an online public forum, please submit your work in advance.

Please send the excerpt you would like us to play (score and parts, as appropriate) by 10pm on May 12th 2021. Send your work to solemquartet@gmail.com

PLEASE DO NOT RECORD ANY OF THE MEETING. The session will be recorded and will be available for a limited time after the session.

Follow us! @solemquartet
