Quartet Night
Four artists, four distinct styles, one soundscape: Contrechamps is pulling out all the stops for an extraordinary evening, from 7 pm to midnight, with live music, sets, immersive listening and film.
There are four cardinal points. There are four seasons, four geometric elements: the point, the line, the plane and the solid. This quartet alone embodies a rare utopia. How do four artistic sensibilities manage to form a single sonic organism without falling apart? Contrechamps and its partners go to great lengths to solve this puzzle. Over four hours of live music, a variety of sets and artists, culminating in an enhanced listening experience and two films screened continuously from 7 pm until midnight.
