Terra memoria: String Quartets by Saariaho, Britten, and Schoenberg

In honor of Kaija Saariaho, the leading Finnish composer of the 20th and 21st centuries who died in June 2023, Quatuor Diotima has chosen her Second String Quartet Terra Memoria as the centerpiece of its program.


Written in 2006, the work is dedicated “to those departed” and their memory. The four musicians also perform music by Benjamin Britten and Arnold Schoenberg.

  • Kaija Saariaho - Terra Memoria
  • Arnold Schoenberg - String Quartet No. 1 in D minor Op. 7
