This concerts inaugurates a series dedicated to the complete Beethoven String Quartets, which will be offered jointly by the Quatuor Ébène and the Belcea Quartet, concluding in 2027 – the 200th Anniversary of Beethoven’s death in 1827.

Founded in Paris in 1999, Quatuor Ébène has established itself as one the most innovative and adventurous of all quartets performing in the major concert halls of the world. With their charismatic playing, their fresh approach to tradition and their open-mindedness with new forms, the musicians have won a string of major prizes and regularly receive five-star reviews for their concerts.

Quatuor Ébène's albums, with recordings of Bartók, Beethoven, Debussy, Haydn, Fauré and Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, have received numerous awards, including Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine, and the Midem Classic Award. In 2015 and 2016 the musicians dedicated themselves to the theme ‘Lied’. They participated in the album Green (Mélodies françaises) by Philippe Jaroussky and released a Schubert album with Matthias Goerne (arrangements for String Quartet, baritone, and double bass, by Raphaël Merlin) and the Schubert String Quintet with Gautier Capuçon. Together with the violist Antoine Tamestit, Quatuor Ébène recorded the Mozart String Quintets K. 515 and K. 516, which were released in the spring of 2023. The album has received accolades such as Choc Classica, Diapason d'Or, and Gramophone Award.

How the Camerata Musica Free Student Ticket Scheme works
Thanks to generous support from the Cavatina Trust, Camerata Musica is able to offer Free Student Tickets to selected concerts.

• Tickets will be held for collection at the Ticket Desk on the night of the performance (we regret that Free Tickets cannot be sent by post).
• Students in higher education and those aged 18 to 25 are eligible for the Free Student Tickets scheme.
• Students need to book using a credit card (either in person at the ADC Box Office, by phone, or online), making a fully refundable £15 deposit.
• The credit card used for purchase must not have an expiry date within six months of the purchase being made, otherwise a refund might not be possible.
• Provided the Free Tickets are collected and used, the full cost of the deposit will be refunded to the payment card within 10 working days of the concert. Please note that if the Free Tickets are not collected and used, the deposit will be retained.
• When collecting the Free Tickets you may be asked to present a current student card or a card showing proof of age.
• The Free Student Tickets are strictly limited to one per student. In order to book a ticket, you must be logged into your account and the code EBENE26 must be entered in the promotional code field. This will unlock the Free Student Tickets (depicted as star icons on the seating plan) which you can then select and add to your basket.
• Tickets cannot be returned. If you are later unable to attend the concert but you have found another student to use your ticket instead, please contact our Theatre Administrator at least 48 hours beforehand so that we can make a note of the change of name. Please note that the cost of the ticket remains the original buyer’s responsibility and the deposit will only be returned providing the ticket is collected and used by the original buyer or another student in his or her place.
• As well as the Free Student Tickets, there are number of non-refundable Discounted Student Tickets which can be booked for £15. These tickets are clearly named Student Discounted (non-refundable) and are not part of the Free Student Ticket scheme.
