Description
COVID UPDATE. Since it looks unlikely that the final 'unlock' will happen on 21st June, we have restricted the audience numbers for this concert to 30. Since the Highgate chapels holds over 200 this means that you will be extremely well socially distanced. Following track and trace guidelines, there will be a QR code for you to log into at the chapel or, if you do not have the QR code, we will be taking names and addresses with a good old fashioned pen and paper.
For our last live concert in this year's Highgate Festival we are delighted to welcome:
Madeleine Mitchell and her London Chamber Ensemble
Madeleine Mitchell - violin
Gordon MacKay - violin
Bridget Carey - viola
Joseph Spooner - cello
They will be playing:
Schubert's String Quartet in No.13 in A Minor - the Rosamund Quartet
Debussy's String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10
There will be drinks available in the courtyard before the performance. NOTA BENE! We are offering a FREE GLASS of WINE at each concert to anyone booking for two of more of our four Salon Music concerts at the festival.
The Festival would like to thank Highgate School, their music director
Jonathan Murphy and the chaplain, Father Robert Easton for generously
allowing us to use their lovely 19th century Gothic chapel for so many of our
concerts.
The Festival will run from the 19th-27th June. Please check in to the festival website for more events.
About the players:
Madeleine Mitchell, international violinist and director of the London Chamber Ensemble is joined by her regular quartet partners, Gordon MacKay, Bridget Carey and Joseph Spooner, all of whom are experienced chamber musicians and recording artists.
The LCE recently gave a very successful live streamed concert celebrating A Century of Music by British Women (1921-2021), following their Naxos album of Grace Williams Chamber Music, no.2 in the Classical Charts.
Their last concert in the Highgate Salon Soirees featured late Beethoven for his 250th anniversary, with readings from TS Eliot's 'Four Quartets'.
