Broadcaster and writer Tom Service (BBC Radio 3, The Guardian) introduces Steve Reich’s Different Trains, a landmark work that blends string quartet with recorded voices and sounds in a haunting exploration of memory and the Holocaust. Following his talk, the acclaimed Solem Quartet – praised for their ‘immaculate precision and spirit’ (The Strad) – perform the piece in full. Known for bold, innovative programming, the Solem Quartet has appeared at leading venues across Europe and recently received five stars from BBC Music Magazine for their album Painted Light. A powerful and thought-provoking evening of music and reflection.
