Overview

An ensemble that has regularly pushed the boundaries begins with a relatively conventional first half but then concentrates on one of its specialties – ‘the rich Nordic folk music tradition,’ as they put it. ‘We believe that we have found a nice little niche … utilizing our strengths as a string quartet to show some of the treasures of our Nordic music tradition’.

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