A few words
ABOUT
The Butter Quartet preforms historical string quartet repertoire. Their current repertoire is early Classical to the early Romantic, including composers such as Richter, Vanhal, Giardini, Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. They take a special interest in historical string-playing techniques, such as rubato, bow strokes, portamento.
In addition to early quartet repertoire, the Butter Quartet is interested in contemporary music, bringing the same spirit of discovery to newly-composed works for historically-setup instruments.
