Carducci String Quartet & Emma Johnson (clarinet)
Part of the Leamington Music Festival 2025
Add to my Calendar 04-05-2025 19:00 04-05-2025 21:00 36 Carducci String Quartet & Emma Johnson (clarinet) The Carducci Quartet first played for Leamington Music in 2009 and this is their ninth concert for us; Emma Johson has also long been an audience favourite and returns to us after a wonderful concert in the 2022 Festival. Arthur Bliss’s Clarinet Quintet is one of his most notable achievements; it is arguably the finest work in the medium from the 20th century and one that is performed and recorded far less frequently than it deserves. It certainly holds its weight in comparison with Mozart’s Quintet which makes for a wonderful and thought-provoking pairing in this programme. Royal Pump Rooms, Leamington Spa DD/MM/YYYYDetails
