In February the Balourdet Quartet embarked on their first UK tour, including a debut performance at Wigmore Hall. Their programs feature Strange Machines, a new work written for them, and commissioned with the assistance of Chamber Music America. The tour included an appearance on BBC 3 Radio 3’s In Tune, where they played the second movement of the work, “Goldberg Machine.” Listen to the performance here (starts at 1:36:32). The Balourdet will perform the piece in the US in upcoming concerts beginning with the New York City premiere on April 4 at the Kaufman Music Center’s Merkin Hall.
