    Programme

    Overview

    Venezuela’s ‘El Sistema’ programme of music education has, among many fine things, helped create the Simón Bolívar String Quartet.

    The ensemble’s late-night programme opens with the colourful music of Alberto Ginastera’s First String Quartet, tinged with the Argentine composer’s ‘imagined folklore’, and continues with Ravel’s lyrical String Quartet in F.

    The evening continues in the Wigmore Hall Bar with music by the Dave O’Higgins Quartet from 11:15 pm. This is a free event, with no ticket required.
