Four women celebrate femininity in quartet form
Eudora invites you to take a fresh dive into the sound world of the string quartet. But not in the bathtub you're used to. This concert features compositions from classicism to the present day, all written by female master composers from the Netherlands and far beyond.
Throughout music history, female composers were assigned a secondary role within society. Even though their high musical education and talent was sometimes acknowledged, they often saw themselves as connected to a male artist. Often they also worked for big names and performed important tasks within the career of a father, a brother or a husband; while those male artists received the public acclaim.
And still there is work to be done!
The Dutch based ensemble Eudora Quartet consists of four young string players with their roots in Turkey and Spain. The strange year of 2020 brought them together. With a musical mission, they fight for gender equality in the repertoire for string quartet. They want to give the work of those women the place it deserves:
the stage.
There, where today's audience can listen to these beautiful works of art and help end unequal treatment in the arts and beyond.
Genius was a woman.
