Joseph Haydn – Quartet in C major, Op. 33 No. 3 ‘The Bird’Salina Fisher – Heal
Robert Schumann – String Quartet in A minor, Op. 41 No. 1
Jupiter String Quartet
Join the Jupiter String Quartet for an afternoon of vivid musical storytelling, with a programme that spans centuries, styles, and continents.
The journey begins with Haydn’s spirited Quartet in C major, affectionately known as ‘The Bird’ for its playful, fluttering motifs and bright wit – a hallmark of the composer’s Op. 33 set, which revolutionised the string quartet with a bolder sense of fun and adventure.
In contrast, Salina Fisher’s Heal offers a space of introspection and sonic stillness, drawing on natural imagery and subtle textures to evoke both vulnerability and strength. The concert concludes with Schumann’s intense and impassioned String Quartet in A minor, composed during a surge of creativity in 1842. Longing to express himself more fully after accompanying his wife Clara on tour, Schumann turned to the string quartet with a sense of urgency and fervour – resulting in music of deep emotional charge and restless beauty.
Duration: Approx 75 minutes, no interval
