On 8 February 2026, Barbican Quartet led by Maiastra alumna Amarins Wierdsma, (June 2021), will perform at Wigmore Hall, offering an exceptional morning of music. Known for their evocative interpretations and seamless ensemble playing, the quartet continues to carve out a distinctive voice on the international chamber music scene.
Wigmore Hall, a jewel in the heart of London, is famed for its acoustics and its long-standing commitment to chamber music. The anticipation is palpable among both long-standing fans and newcomers, as the ensemble prepares to deliver a programme that showcases their technical mastery and emotional depth.
Barbican Quartet is celebrated for their thoughtful selection of works ranging from classical staples to contemporary gems. For this special Wigmore Hall performance, the programme will feature compositions by Karol Szymanowski, Rebecca Clarke, and Maurice Ravel, promising a fascinating blend of expressive depth and stylistic variety. Their concerts often feature pieces by Haydn, Beethoven, and Schumann, as well as new commissions and lesser-known works that highlight their adventurous spirit. Attendees can expect a compelling journey through the quartet literature, performed with finesse and a touch of daring.
Excitement around the Barbican Quartet is not limited to their live performances. The ensemble is set to release a new CD on 8 February 2026, marking a significant milestone in their artistic journey. Although details about the recording are still under wraps, the group’s previous releases have been praised for their clarity, warmth, and interpretative insight. This new album is expected to reflect the same commitment to quality and musical storytelling that has become their hallmark.
For chamber music lovers, 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for the Barbican Quartet. Their concert at Wigmore Hall offers an opportunity to experience their artistry live, while the forthcoming CD will allow listeners to savour their sound again and again. Whether in the concert hall or at home, the Barbican Quartet’s music continues to resonate, inspire, and delight.
Tickets for the Wigmore Hall performance are likely to sell out quickly, so early booking is strongly recommended. Keep an eye on the quartet’s website and social media channels for updates on the CD release and future concert dates.
