Wait Till the Clouds Roll by

Description

The Butter Quartet brings together four musicians united by their shared passion for a vibrant and historically informed interpretation of the string quartet. Initially formed during their studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, the quartet quickly developed a passion and dynamic that extended beyond their student years. Their first album, "Scintilla," was released in July 2024 on Brilliant Classics.The Butter Quartet is committed to integrating its research on performance practices of the late 18th and early 19th centuries into powerfully compelling performances. It also infuses this same spirit of discovery into its new compositions for historical string instruments."Wait Till the Clouds Roll By" by the Butter Quartet reflects their belief that music, like Alice's journey through Wonderland, helps us navigate a world of beauty, confusion, humor, and transformation. Through Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) and Caroline Shaw (born 1982), we cross portals between eras, emotions, and perspectives.
