Fibonacci Quartet listing on Broadway Baby

Both intimate and autobiographical, Fibonacci Quartet bring this deeply personal programme to life.

One of Europes leading string quarters, Fibonacci Quartet, brings their trademark brilliance to a programme of Scottish and Czech music, each work exploring the nature of love and communication.

In her First Quartet (2014) Helen Grime focuses on pairs of instruments in different combinations, exploring the way they speak to each other. Leo Janeks Second String Quartet (1928), subtitled Intimate Letters, was inspired by the composers infatuation with Kamila Stsslov. It gives prominence to the viola, the instrument Janek associated with Kamila.

More personal stories feature in Bedich Smetanas 1876 String Quartet in E minor, titled From My Life. It is infused with both the composers love of his country and anguish at his increasing deafness. Smetana entrusted what he called the small friendly circle of the string quartet to tell his story.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
