The 2025 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition is the 16th edition of this prestigious Competition, and a celebration of the art of the string quartet, which this year features eleven quartets from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Switzerland and the USA. One of the competing quartets will perform at today’s lunchtime concert; repertoire will be drawn from their Preliminary Round recitals, which feature works by Haydn, Mozart, 20th-century composers and Judith Weir’s new String Quartet No. 2 ‘The Spaniard’ (commissioned by Britten Pears Arts and Wigmore Hall for the Leonkoro Quartet).
