CRESCENDO :
Opus13
with Vertavo Quartet
Two quartets meet in late Romantic chamber music .
The string quartet Opus13 takes its name from Mendelssohn ’ s popular String Quartet no . 2 , opus 13 , as it was the first piece they played together after forming in 2014 . In 2017 they make their international debut , with concerts in France and Denmark . The young ensemble met through studies at the Barratt Due Institute of Music , one of the three partners behind the mentoring programme Crescendo .
Not long after their debut , Opus13 were invited to play alongside the Vertavo String Quartet in Oslo , on the occasion of the Vertavo ’ s 30th anniversary .
This evening in Troldsalen the two quartets meet again on stage . Svendsen ’ s String Octet draws on traditional folk tunes , while Mendelssohn ’ s work is influenced by Beethoven ’ s late quartets .
