String Quartet M4GNET in Tartu 

Programme:

Jüri Reinvere (b. 1971) – Nachtbild mit Wetterleuchten (2025)

Anna-Margret Noorhani (b. 1999) – Three Pieces for String Quartet (2026, premiere)

Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes (b. 1977) – Vestige (2026, premiere)

Madli Marje Gildemann – Feathered Mirrors (2024)

Gregor Kulla (b. 2000) – Whatevergirl (2026, premiere)

The M4GNET Quartet is an active and acclaimed chamber ensemble consisting of four top-level musicians: violinists Robert Traksmann and Katariina Maria Kits-Reimal, violist Mart Kuusma, and cellist Siluan Hirvoja. The quartet was founded in early 2021 with the aim of offering fresh and thoughtful interpretations of the classical chamber music repertoire, while also bringing to audiences lesser-performed works from the 20th century as well as new compositions by Estonian composers. At today’s concert, new works by five very differently thinking composers will be performed, three of them in world premieres, by Anna-Margret Noorhani, Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes, and Gregor Kulla. Jüri Reinvere’s work Nachtbild mit Wetterleuchten was premiered by the legendary Arditti Quartet, while  Madli Marje Gildemann’s piece was first performed in Lucerne and last year also at the prestigious Huddersfield festival by Mivos Quartet.
