PLAYLIST6 Spin Street | 24 Jan | 7pm The Juliet String Quartet

What would happen if the Juliet String Quartet curated a playlist drawn from their musical passions?

Playlist offers just that. A carefully crafted selection of works the ensemble loves, has performed, is currently exploring, and music written especially for them. Together, these pieces form a vivid reflection of the quartet’s unique musical identity.

Founded in 2014, the Juliet String Quartet is known for championing both the string quartet canon and South African composition. This imagined playlist naturally includes music from their 2023 album Maike, celebrating their deep connection to South Africa’s creative energy and innovation.

Expect the elegance of Joseph Haydn, the searing intensity of Dmitri Shostakovich, and compelling works by leading contemporary South African composers written for the ensemble.
