Greek Sound Worlds meet great chamber music in St. Anna

When the Leopold Mozart Quartet performs on Friday, July 17, 2026, at the St. Anna Church, Augsburg's old town will become a resonance space for finely layered string quartet art. The program by now:music! connects antiquity and the present, archaic tonal systems and contemporary compositional language, promising a concert experience that combines intellectual sharpness with immediate live atmosphere.

An evening between the Archaic and the Avant-garde

The focus is on works by Minas Borboudakis and Konstantia Gourzi, complemented by Harry Partch's rarely performed Two Studies on Ancient Greek Scales as well as Nikos Skalkotas' 3rd String Quartet. Here lies the excitement of this evening: the string quartet is not presented as a museum form but as a living language in which rhythm, color, and harmonic friction weave together into a dense musical narrative.

The Leopold Mozart Quartet with a clear profile

The Leopold Mozart Quartet was founded in 2005 by musicians of the Augsburg Philharmonic and stands for high artistic quality, demanding program design, and enormous versatility. The ensemble occupies the field between classical tradition and new music with sovereignty and precision. Anyone who experiences this quartet live feels not only technical control in the stage performance but also that fine sensitivity for orchestration in small settings that makes chamber music so captivating.

St. Anna as a space for sound and concentration

St. Anna in Annahof provides the fitting framework for this music. The church is located in the heart of Augsburg, historically charged, and at the same time an open place for culture. Particularly for a string quartet, the church space has a special effect: long reverberation moments, transparent voice leading, and an acoustic space in which every nuance remains audible. This makes the concert not only audible but also physically experienceable.

What the audience can expect

The program spans a wide arc from ancient scales to contemporary compositions with Greek references. This dramaturgy opens not only insights into musical traditions but also into the present of European chamber music. Those interested in new music, string quartet literature, and unconventional concert evenings will experience an evening with a clear hand and high atmospheric density.

Conclusion: A concert for open ears and alert senses

This now:music! concert promises an evening full of sonic discoveries, precise ensemble work, and special closeness to the music. In St. Anna, the archaic idea of the Greek sound world meets the concentration of an excellent string quartet. Anyone seeking new perspectives on chamber music should not miss this live experience in Augsburg.
