Programme
Overview
Embark on a lunchtime odyssey with the Signum Quartet—Haydn’s foundational Op.20 No.1, Paul Hanmer’s vibrant jazz-inflected unTsiki, Janáček’s impassioned modernism, and a bold chamber take on Radiohead’s Paranoid Android. Experience four centuries of boundary-defying music in one electrifying programme.Join the Signum Quartet for a dynamic lunchtime recital that spans classical tradition, jazz vitality, modernist intensity and alternative-rock reinvention. The programme opens with Joseph Haydn’s Op.20 No.1—a trailblazing quartet from the early 1770s whose architectural elegance and inventive spirit reshaped chamber music. Next, South African pianist Paul Hanmer’s unTsiki brings vibrant syncopations and lyrical flourishes, leading into Leoš Janáček’s First String Quartet, where raw emotion and folk-inspired motifs surge with haunting urgency. The concert culminates in a daring chamber arrangement of Radiohead’s Paranoid Android, transforming the iconic 1997 rock anthem into a tapestry of rich string textures and edgy harmonies. Intimate and invigorating, this performance invites listeners on a sensational journey through four centuries of sonic exploration. Tickets £20, concessions £18.
