Quatuor Ébène live in Berlin

Experience Quatuor Ébène live on October 12th

Quatuor Ébène, a French string quartet founded in 1999, will perform at the Kammermusiksaal in Berlin on October 12, 2026. The quartet is recognized for its interpretations of classical repertoire alongside explorations of jazz, arranged works, and collaborations with diverse artists. Their playing style is often described as possessing both technical precision and a warm, expressive quality, marked by a noticeable attention to phrasing and dynamic nuance. They frequently engage with contemporary composers and are known for their commitment to expanding the string quartet repertoire.

The Kammermusiksaal, located within the Haus des Rundfunks (Broadcasting House) in Berlin, is renowned for its exceptional acoustics. Completed in 1956, it was designed specifically for chamber music and radio recordings. Its rectangular shape and relatively small size – seating approximately 600 people – contribute to its intimate atmosphere and clarity of sound. The hall's wooden paneling and carefully considered architectural features minimize reverberation while still providing a rich sonic experience. It has become a significant venue for classical music performances and recordings within Germany, hosting both established ensembles and emerging artists.
