In 1970, George Crumb wrote a string quartet in which helicopter rotors over Vietnam meet Schubert's Death and the Maiden. In "In tempore belli", Latin for "in times of war", terrifying insect sounds are suddenly interrupted by the melody from Death and the Maiden. At this chamber concert, you will also hear Schubert's Death and the Maiden itself, in a programme that explores the contrast between life and death, and between the beautiful and the vulgar.
