October: With music chosen by Sinfonia Cymru violinist Anna Tulchinskaya, this programme is characterised by light and dark, friendship and loss. Shostakovich’s 11th quartet was dedicated to his friend who passed away just before it was composed. Unsurprisingly, the music is coloured by a heavy sense of anguish, and self-reflections on friendship and loneliness. Light is provided by Haydn’s 4th quartet, nicknamed the Sunrise quartet, for its beautiful rising melody in the violin, and by Florence Price’s Summer Moon, dedicated to Price’s friend, the jazz musician Memry Midgett. Join us as Anna and her fellow under-30s musicians and friends perform this lush programme for string quartet.

December: Grab a mince pie and join us for some festive cheer! This cosy and heart-warming hour-long chamber concert will lift your spirits, and you’ll be invited to join our musicians for some carol singing too. Featuring the first movement of Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E-flat major, alongside a variety of Christmas classics!
