麻豆社

Founded in 2013 and named after a character in Tolkien鈥檚 The Lord of the Rings, the French ensemble has made a steady rise to eminence through numerous competition successes and as 麻豆社 Radio 3 New Generation Artists (2017-19). Their programme includes Haydn's 'Emperor' Quartet, whose second movement features a noble theme that was later adopted for the German national anthem; and a piece by French composer Benjamin Attahir (b. 1989) that takes inspiration from a Muslim afternoon prayer.
