Schuberts famed quartet, written in 1824 when he was in the throes of severe illness and aware of his impending mortality, trawls the depths of despair with unparalleled vibrancy and urgency.

Experiencing Schuberts momentous work on gut strings will introduce audiences to the vivid colours and expressive sensitivities that Schubert intended, bringing it to new life. Coupled with the wonderfully rich palette of Beethovens quartet Opus 18, No.1, the second movement of which depicts the vault scene from Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, this program is one not to be missed.
