| Description |
The first concert of this series explored the relationship between Beethoven’s quartet and piano writing. For this second, the Kreutzer Quartet will look at Beethoven's Op 74 Quartet - a composition which uses the whole ensemble to imitate the harp, an instrument Beethoven famously disliked. Alongside this, the Kreutzers are proud to bring Robin Holloway’s music to Wilton’s for the first time and a new set of preludes by David Matthews. Robin Holloway is one of the UK’s most influential composers and musical thinkers and his exciting quartet is the perfect foil for Beethoven. |
