Programme Note
Brilliant and distinctive…fresh and new…makes the music’s architecture expressive in its own right (The Telegraph).
The Jubilee Quartet's recent recording of Haydn drew rave reviews from the press, including the quote above. For their return to Conway Hall they begin with some Haydn before an exciting combination of Schubert works: firstly, the chance to hear his original song 'Death and the Maiden', before the variations movement inspired by it from his D minor quartet. The second half features Schubert's final quartet, composed just two years before he died.
About the Sunday Concerts
Founded in the 1880s, our chamber music concert series is the longest-running of its kind in Europe. Conway Hall was purpose-built in 1929 to host concerts and lectures, and they have continued here until the present day. The ethos of “affordable classical music for all” still remains.
We are pleased to be able to welcome an audience for this performance, and will also stream the concert on YouTube Live. Attendance in person may not be possible if government guidelines change prior to the event. We reserve the right to make this event livestream only and will inform ticket holders in advance.
