Programme
Overview
Journey from the rich depths of Schubert’s final String Quintet in C to the inventive echoes of Thomas Adès’s Wreath – for Franz Schubert. Performed by a renowned string quartet with a guest cellist, this programme weaves Romantic lyricism and contemporary wonder.Join an acclaimed string quartet and guest cellist for an evening that bridges two centuries of musical innovation. Opening with Franz Schubert’s String Quintet in C major—one of his last compositions, completed weeks before his death—the ensemble unfolds an epic tapestry of lyrical melodies, intimate dialogue and sudden surges of passion. The second half unveils Thomas Adès’s Wreath – for Franz Schubert, a single-movement homage commissioned by the quartet, in which shimmering textures and bold harmonies reflect on life’s fragility and the enduring power of Schubert’s spirit. Through sublime interplay and vibrant contrasts, this programme invites listeners to experience the transcendent beauty of the Romantic era alongside the daring voice of contemporary composition.
