Kings Place Festival 2010: Latin American Classics IDate: 09/09/2010 - 14:30 Location: UK: London Work Performed: String Quartet #02 Song of the Black Swan Kings Place Festival 2010 Date: Thursday 9 September On the Chilingirian Quartet's first visit to Latin America they met Villa-Lobos's widow in Brazil, who gave them the music for his 16th Quartet. The distinguished, British-based quartet have since made many visits to South America, where they have encountered its unique multiplicity of cultures and enjoyed meeting a variety of composers and performers. In January 2010 they were charged with developing a Chamber Music Academy in Venezuela, for the young players involved in El Sistema, the world-renowned orchestral-training organisation. For Kings Place Festival they have chosen to share the platform with one of El Sistema's most exciting ambassadors, the Millennium Quartet, whose players the Chilingirian have coached. Says Levon Chilingirian: ‘The Kings Place Festival provides a long-awaited opportunity to introduce the music we have so enjoyed over the years and the young musicians who have been so exciting to work with.'
