Work type: Chamber

The Takács Quartet and friends pair string sextets by Tchaikovsky and Brahms at Wigmore Hall.

A patchy performance by The Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia in a concert following the influence of J.S. Bach on later choral composers.

Hugo Ticciati and Víkingur Ólafsson explore notions of time, but a lesson in mindful performance comes from the gravity-defying Sanddorn Balance act.  

The gut strings and period bows of the Chiaroscuro Quartet cast dramatic light and shade movements on from Bach's The Art of Fugue and quartets by Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn.

There was a palpable sense of communion during a performance bringing these great musicians together at Carnegie Hall for the first time. 

Violist Berit Cardas' smiles seemed to sum up the lightness, the exuberance of the Vertavo quartet as they tripped with grace and astonishing technical assurance through four Haydn quartets.
