KLÁR QUARTET
is a small group of members of the National Theatre Orchestra and was founded in 1988. During its existence the quartet has developed an unusually wide repertoire which distinguishes them from other string quartets. Their audiences request not only music by classical, baroque and romantic composers, but also parlour and operetta music, musicals, evergreens, swing, jazz and pop music, including The Beatles.
