Is there something about Ligeti’s ’Metamorphoses Nocturnes’? Last time we programmed it, a member of the Vision Quartet broke his leg. Their replacement, the Maxwell Quartet, is playing for us next on 28th April. Last night we programmed it and a member of the Marmen Quartet got Covid-19. Any audience members who are doubly-disappointed can hear the Marmen Quartet’s recent performance on YouTube.
