SUMMARY:Divertimento String Quartet concert
DESCRIPTION:Haydn Quartet in F minor Op 20 no 5\nWebern Langsamer-Satz\nSchubert Quartet in G\, D887 \nJoin us for an unforgettable afternoon of chamber music as the we present three important works that span more than a century of quartet writing.\nHaydn’s String Quartet in F minor\, Op. 20 No. 5 shows the composer at his most innovative\, from its dramatic opening to a brilliant fugal finale.\nNext in the programme is Webern’s Langsamer Satz\, a single movement work full of intense romantic longing\, written before he developed his more modernist style.\nThe concert concludes with Franz Schubert’s String Quartet in G major\, D887\, one of the great quartet masterpieces of the nineteenth century. Vast in scale and full of contrasts.
