Their unusual combination of violin, viola, cello and double bass is the ideal line-up for high energy performances of classical and jazz works.  Their programme will range from Debussy, Ravel and Bach to arrangements of works by legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans and a new commission, Esprit submergé, by Luke Styles.

Programme includes:

• Bill Evans – Blue in green (arrangement by Cyrille Lehn)
• Bach – Nun komm’ der Heiden Heiland BWV 659
• Ravel – Pavane pour une infante défunte
• Luke Styles – Esprit submergé
• Debussy – La plus que lente
