Experience Quatuor Métamorphoses live on August 18th

Quatuor Métamorphoses, a string quartet founded in 2017, is scheduled to perform at the Temple de Roussillon in Roussillon, France on August 18, 2026. The quartet is recognized for its interpretations of both classical and contemporary repertoire, frequently commissioning new works and demonstrating a commitment to expanding the string quartet landscape. Their performances are noted for their dynamic range and nuanced phrasing, often described as blending technical precision with emotional depth. They have received awards including the FNAPEE Prize and the Orpheus Swiss Chamber Music Prize.

The Temple de Roussillon is a Protestant church constructed in the 16th century, originally built as a fortified structure during a period of religious conflict in France. Roussillon itself is known for its ochre cliffs and buildings constructed using local ochre pigments, giving the village a distinctive reddish hue. The Temple underwent significant restoration in the 19th century after periods of disuse and damage during the French Revolution and subsequent conflicts. Its architecture reflects both its defensive origins and later stylistic influences. The space offers notable acoustics suitable for chamber music performances due to its relatively intimate size and stone construction.
