Work: String Quartet no. 3, "Songs are Sung”

The Silesian String Quartet provides eloquence, deft touches and rich sounds to quartets by Moniuszko, Weinberg and Górecki at London's Wigmore Hall.

St Giles’ Cathedral, at the top of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, boasts a wonderful acoustic. From the chancel of this magnificent building a string quartet, drawn from the Red Note Ensemble’s flexible and varied forces, presented a late-evening, candlelit programme of meditative music entitled, Hymn of Thanks (Transcendence).
