Eva Aronian violin
James Slater viola
Daniel Hammersley cello
Philip Nelson double bass
programme to include:
Joseph Haydn String Quartet Op. 20, No. 4
Franz Schubert String Quintet in C major
Royal Northern Sinfonia present a lively programme of music for strings, directed by orchestra leader Maria Włoszczowska. Known as ‘the father of the string quartet’, Haydn wrote almost 70 of them in his lifetime and Op.20, No.4 is a sparkling example that shows the full range of his musical talent. Schubert’s String Quintet also has an important place in music history thanks to the addition of an extra cello to a standard quartet for a deeper, richer sound. In between these two classical masterpieces Maria and Philip will perform a selection of bluegrass duos for violin and double bass, inspired by the folk-like movements within the Haydn and Schubert pieces.
