Overview

The second Brentano programme brings together classic works with contemporary music. Both of the modern works are products of a commission from the quartet in its Bach Perspectives project, which took The Art of Fugue as a point of origin. Well-known figures in American musical life, Bruce Adolphe and Steven Mackey each made a personal response to particular elements of the celebrated contrapuntal masterpiece.

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