The Sounds of the Dolomites | Quartetto Arod

Amid water, meadows and lichen-covered rocks in the enchanting, rugged Lagorai landscape, for some years now the shores of the Bombasèl lakes in Val di Fiemme have played host to big international names in chamber music. For instance, take the Arod string quartet, who’ve grabbed the attention of the music world since they formed in France in 2013. The four musicians have triumphed in numerous competitions, starting with First Prize in the “ARD” International Music Competition in Munich in 2016. They were named “BBC New Generation Artists” in 2017 and “ECHO Rising Stars” the following year. The Arod Quartet collaborate with famous artists such as violists Amihai Grosz, Antoine Tamestit and Mathieu Herzog, pianists Éric Le Sage, Alexandre Tharaud and Adam Laloum, cellists Raphaël Pidoux and Kyril Zlotnikov, and many more besides. They will perform quartets by Haydn and Schumann.
