    Overview

    Wigmore Hall’s Associate Artists commemorate Schubert’s birthday with an unmissable celebration of the composer’s mature chamber music masterworks.

    The Takács Quartet sets the tone with his Quartettsatz in C minor. Its single movement serves as the intense point of departure for the ‘Rosamunde’ Quartet’s contrasting moods and the haunting melancholy of the monumental ‘Death and the Maiden’ Quartet of 1824.

    Supported by the Chamber Music Circle
