Bryce Dessner, known to many as the guitarist from The National, has been leading a double life as a prolific composer and curator in the realm of creative new music.
His compositions, marked by a keen sensitivity to instrumental colour and texture, feature in this hour-long programme alongside Bartók’s folklore-inspired Duos and Schumann’s evergreen Piano Quartet.
