This programme is centred around the evocative poet, Alice Oswald, and equally compelling composer with whom the Piatti Quartet have built up a close relationship – Joseph Phibbs, the programme begins with the miniature and intimate, then opens out as the poetry and visuals guide you through woodland, waterfalls, the sea, the sky and lastly the moon and stars. The Quartet is joined by The Imitation Game actor Alex Lawther.

Programme to include the widely critically acclaimed Joseph Phibbs Quartet No.4 (2024), Mendelssohn A minor Quartet and other scintillating works.
Fauré’s songs represent his art at its most radiant, demonstrating the composer’s exceptional gift for melody as well as his acute sensitivity to the subtleties of the greatest French poets of the day.
In ‘La bonne chanson’, the result is a song cycle like few others: an ecstatic hymn to the beloved (the composer’s mistress) which celebrates the triumph of love. Here, it provides a glorious opening to Nicky Spence, Piatti Quartet and Julius Drake’s all-Faure recital.
Soundbites series concert series continues with this Valentine’s inspired concert featuring works by Tchaikovsky and Borodin.
