Chaos String Quartet
Chaos doesn’t have to mean mayhem – it can contain unbounded energy and limitless creative possibilities.
That’s certainly the case with these four young string players, who’ve made quite a stir since they were chosen as BBC New Generation Artists in 2023.
Founded in Vienna in 2019 by Susanne Schäffer (violin), Eszter Kruchió (violin), Sara Marzadori (viola) and Bas Jongen (cello), their programmes span from Gesualdo over Haydn to Miles Davis, combining classical repertoire with contemporary works, inventive arrangements and improvisation.
Hear why today, as they dive headlong into two centuries of Viennese music for string quartet: a dizzying, dazzling whirl of lilting tunes, sumptuous waltzes and glinting modernist colours.
