Performer: Chilingirian Quartet

Le Chilingirian Quartet a proposé au Shakespeare's Globe un programme marqué par l'expérience personnelle de la guerre et transfiguré par le Quatuor pour la fin du temps de Messiaen. 

This candlelit evening at the atmospheric Sam Wanamaker Playhouse with the Chilingirian String Quartet and friends had more of a cosy Christmas feel than yet another World War I commemoration.

The Chilingirian Quartet’s second concert at the Kings Place Festival followed barely twenty minutes after their preceding concert had concluded. Three factors were common between both events: the playing of two works without an interval, the presence of Joseph Haydn, and, most importantly, a uniformly high standard of musicianship.
