    Overview

    There is an edge of anxiety and restlessness about both of the works in the first half of this concert. The Hagen Quartet pairs Mozart’s String Quartet in D minor, the only minor key work among his six quartets dedicated to Haydn, with György Kurtág’s Hommage à Mihály András, completed in 1978.

    The programme closes with Schubert’s mournful String Quartet in A minor, arguably one of his most hauntingly melancholic pieces.

    This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
