Overview

Founded at the Juilliard School in 1992, the ensemble takes its name from Antonie Brentano – one of the candidates for Beethoven’s still unidentified ‘immortal beloved’. The New York Times has described the Brentano as ‘something special. Their music-making is private, delicate and fresh, but by its very intimacy and importance it seizes attention.’

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