Concert by the Byron Quartet

Based in the Lake Geneva region, the Byron Quartet pursues an artistic approach that combines musical excellence with cultural engagement. Through its association, it is committed to making chamber music accessible to an ever-wider audience, particularly those who, for geographical, social or generational reasons, do not have access to it. Its commitment is based on the conviction that music contributes to encounters, exchange and cultural life.

For the fourth year running, the Musée Jenisch in Vevey is hosting the Byron Quartet as its resident ensemble. This collaboration has given rise to a programme of music designed in conjunction with the museum’s exhibitions, inviting the audience to discover the works from a different perspective.

As part of the exhibition ‘The Jean Planque Collection: The Story of a Collector’, two concerts will reflect Jean Planque’s artistic sensibility and unique perspective.
