19 Jan 2025, 18:00 – 20:00
Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG
Exploring chamber music that embodies voice and song, the Fitzwilliam Quartet performs two of the most lyrical romantic quartets – Schubert’s beautiful lieder-based ‘Rosamunde’ quartet and Hugo Wolf’s sunny ‘Italian Serenade’. Taking the idea further via the flute, Hungarian virtuoso Noémi Győri joins the quartet to play Mozart’s D major Flute Quartet, and then the Theme and Variations for flute and strings by American composer Amy Beach, one of her most important chamber works, composed in 1916 and based on her song ‘Indian Lullaby’.
The event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
