Come and hear J.S.Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.6, the work which put the sound-world of two violas on the map. Discover the Russian performer-composers Vadim Borisovsky and Fyodor Druzhinin (who inspired many of Shostakovich’s chamber works) and the British performer-composer Lionel Tertis, three viola superstars whose virtuosity sparked many new compositions for the instrument.
This concert will introduce you to a wide range of works from an important chamber tradition, some familiar, others only recently unearthed, all of them innovative, energetic, and completely engaging. You are guaranteed a journey of discovery.
We look forward to seeing you there.
