Overview

A duo formed by two exceptional exponents of their instruments has already resulted in a highly praised disc of Brahms sonatas, of which Gramophone said: ‘Wang and Kavakos give consistently outstanding performances. Wang has a way of making even the most complex passages beautifully clear. Without over-emphasising turning points in the harmony, she's able to point the music's direction of travel ... Kavakos similarly delights in finding an ideal expression for each phrase.’

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