Jonathan Harvey’s Fourth String Quartet brings together a fascination for instrumental virtuosity and an examination of sonority with live electronics in a hauntingly beautiful work. Professor Michael Clarke (University of Huddersfield) will lead a discussion of this work with the programmer of the computer system, Gilbert Nouno (IRCAM), and introduce a performance of the work with the Arditti Quartet.
