Description
The Lir Quartet are back as part of their sixth tour for the National String Quartet Foundation and for this concert they are led by Mia Cooper and joined by cellist Christopher Marwood for Schubert’s final chamber work, the String Quintet in C major. The Quintet is generally regarded as the composer’s finest chamber work as well as one of the greatest compositions in all chamber music. The programme opens with one of John Kinsella’s short, virtuosic and entertaining works for string quartet.
PLEASE NOTE: I.D. and a valid vaccine passport will be requested at the venue.
