Korossy Quartet live in Kőszeg

Experience Korossy Quartet live on July 9th

The Korossy Quartet will perform at the Synagogue in Kőszeg, Hungary on July 9, 2026. The quartet is recognized for its interpretations of both classical and contemporary string quartet repertoire, frequently noted for a vibrant and emotionally engaging performance style. Their programming often blends well-known works with pieces by lesser-known composers, demonstrating a commitment to expanding the string quartet landscape.

The Synagogue of Kőszeg, built in 1888, represents a significant architectural and historical landmark within the town. Constructed in an eclectic style blending Moorish and Gothic elements, it served a thriving Jewish community until the mid-20th century. Following years of disuse and deterioration after World War II, a comprehensive restoration project was completed in 2019. This restoration aimed to preserve the building’s original architectural features while adapting it as a cultural venue.

Today, the Synagogue functions as a space for concerts, exhibitions, and other community events. Its acoustics are considered particularly suitable for chamber music performances due to the building's design and materials used during construction and restoration. The venue’s historical context adds another layer of significance to musical events held within its walls.
