Desguin Kwartet
The 2026 Quartet Luncheons (3)
August 21, 2026, 12:30 p.m.
Chapel of the School of Arts - Tournai
Proquartetto asbl is partnering with the Midis-Minimes festival in Brussels, which has been offering a chamber music program during the summer for many years. The concept: short concerts (about 35 minutes) at very affordable prices, so they remain accessible to everyone… including workers on their lunch break. We’re offering you three summer interludes: at each event, you’ll discover a young quartet and one or two musical works.
Programme
- Sergei Prokofiev: String Quartet No. 2 in F major, Op. 92
- Anton Webern: Langsamer Satz
Desguin Kwartet
