Programme Note
The Henschel Quartet liken their forthcoming return to St John’s Smith Square to ‘visiting an old friend’. Following their inaugural concert last year (which was broadcast live by BBC Radio 3) to mark their 20th Anniversary in this wonderful venue, the acclaimed quartet return to present three of their favourite string quartets. Each work demonstrates the great effect achieved by each composer’s particular and personal mastery of the use of rhythm in their writing.
