Wigmore Hall’s wholehearted commitment to building the chamber music repertoire continues with the first performance of a new work for string quintet.

Anthony Gilbert’s composition, Haven of Mysteries, belongs to the Hall’s Bracing Change programme, a series of new British string commissions.

The Carducci String Quartet is joined by Guy Johnston for this performance, which also includes Schubert’s divine String Quintet, among the great masterworks dating from the composer’s final months. The programme begins with Haydn’s dazzling String Quartet in E flat Op. 33 No. 2, the popular nickname of which reflects the stop-start ending of its rondo.
