Overview
Chloë Hanslip and Danny Driver are becoming a regular pairing at Wigmore Hall, having performed in both our Autumn and Spring Series. They return this summer for a varied programme which includes Judith Weir’s 1981 Music for 247 Strings, so named because its original performers, Paul Barritt and William Howard, asked Weir to write a piece that was a true duet of violin and piano (the latter of Weir’s having 243 strings), rather than featuring one over the other.
