Biography
Le Quatuor Makrokosmos is a swiss quartet based in Geneva, Switzerland. The group takes its name from the eponymous music of George Crumb, itself conjuring up the magical possibilities of such an instrumental line-up. Alongside the great classic masterworks of the genre - the Sonata for 2 pianos and percussion by Béla Bartók; Le Sacre du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky and Music for a Summer Evening - Makrokosmos III by George Crumb, the Quatuor Makrokosmos continues to forge its own new identity working hand-in-hand with composers in exploring the instrumental format of 2 pianos + 2 percussions to create a new voice and a new music for the 21st century.

Repertoire
Alongside the great classic masterworks of the genre by Bartok and Stravinsky, Makrokosmos has forged its own new identity hand-in-hand with composers in exploring the instrumental format of 2 pianos + 2 percussions to create a new voice and a new music for the 21st century. These are a few works in their repertory with new commissions in planning for the coming years from the likes of Lopez-Lopez, Philippe Hurel, Beat Furrer and Luca Francesconi.
