QUARTETTO WERTHER IN ROME DEBUTING AT TEATRO ARGENTINA FOR ACCADEMIA FILARMONICA ROMANA WITH A PREMIERE BY FRANCESCO ANTONIONI

Quartetto Werther again in Rome for an important debut at Teatro Argentina on December, 4th 2025 at 9pm.

Gustav Mahler wrote his only Quartet for Piano and Strings as a conservatory exam at the age of sixteen, but left it unfinished: a piece rich in Brahmsian sensations, permeated by a constant narrative tension, where three themes of delicate yet poignant beauty follow one another cyclically. Rediscovered in 1964, this torso was “completed” in 1988 by Soviet composer Alfred Schnittke, who adapted it to a completely new structure and language. The Werther Quartet, making its debut at the Teatro Argentina, offers the Filarmonica audience an immersive experience in the still-surprising story of this encounter, also performing Brahms’s tormented and marvelous Piano Quartet No. 3 and a new composition “Movimento di quartetto” commissioned for the occasion by the Filarmonica Romana from Francesco Antonioni.
