Based in Finland, this multi-prize-winning string quartet is known for its astonishing sonority, range of expression, and unity of voicing. The members of Meta4 play distinguished instruments, including a Stradivarius violin, kindly on loan from the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
“Their flamboyant style of music-making—standing, swaying, sometimes even stamping—has thrilled me in the past. Now they seem to deploy even more breathtaking levels of technical and interpretive finesse.” The Times (UK)
