On 8th February, Radio France’s Présences Festival will present the world premiere of Oscar Bianchi's third string quartet, Sintonía, by the talented Quatuor Diotima who is also been behind the commission of his very first string quartet. Centered upon the dialectic between the known and the unknown, the familiar and the foreign, much like the composer's two previous works for string quartet, Sintonía tackles, according to the composer's own words, "the potential wealth and the consequences of otherness into our lives and thoughts.”
