Overview
Wigmore Hall’s Celebrating Carolyn Sampson series concludes in festive fashion with the world première of Brooklyn-born composer John Musto’s latest score for soprano and string quartet.
Carolyn Sampson also joins the Heath Quartet in the haunting final movements of Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 2, a work marked by a period of emotional turmoil in its composer’s personal life.
