The Wien Modern festival has called off four Arditti Quartet concerts over the coming week at the Konzerhaus and the Musikverein. The quartet, which is on a 50th anniversary tour, suffered a setback when cellist Lucas Fels broke his arm.

Since the programme is a cycle of Schoenberg quartets together with contemporary works, it was impossible to find a replacement cellist at short notice.

The series of four concerts will be rescheduled some time next year.
