So Herr Haas actually has two new quartets to be premiered? Or, is that perhaps a misnumber? (And as I keep harping: BBC3 jolly well better broadcast all (or at least a good most) of this!)
No, The Hyena is a work for ensemble and narrator, not quartet. It’s curious the Ardittis are teaming up with Klangforum Wien for that concert, i assume the Arditti’s will form part of The Hyena‘s ensemble.
Actually, to clarify, Haas is up to eight quartets and the promo says that the Ardittis are premiering no.10, wondering what ever became of no.9 (unless that is being shelved for some reason).
So now I found a scoop to clarify everything. The great JACK Quartet are performing Quartet No.9 in November in Vienna. Hopefully it will found its way to get to the rest of us.
“McFarland substitutes Campbell on select dates, including their European tour in November that includes the world premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas’ String Quartet No. 9 at the Wien Modern on November 12. Like Haas’ String Quartet No. 3, this will be performed in complete darkness with the quartet playing from memory.”

Ah, presumably Haas is simply following the same approach Microsoft took with Windows™?
