Carnegie Hall

Founded in 2019, Berlin’s Leonkoro Quartet has already won an astonishing list of major awards and international competitions, including first prize—alongside nine additional special prizes—at the Wigmore Hall International String Competition. The ensemble’s Carnegie Hall debut includes two pillars of the genre: Felix Mendelssohn’s youthfully romantic, Beethoven-inspired String Quartet in A Minor; and Schubert’s turbulent, emotional masterpiece, the “Death and the Maiden” Quartet. The concert also includes Carnegie Hall’s first-ever performance of the only string quartet by Henriëtte Bosmans, a defiant and significant 20th-century Dutch composer whose works are woefully underperformed today.
