In the first of their series of string quintets and sextets, the Nash Ensemble performs a Russian programme, including music by Borodin and Tchaikovsky, at LSO St Luke's in London.

The Nash Ensemble are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and in the first concert of their series of string quintets and sextets at LSO St Luke's in London, they are performing a programme of Russian chamber music. Borodin's String Sextet in D minor is paired with Tchaikovsky's 'Souvenir de Florence', a sextet that he worked from a theme composed during a trip to Florence and which he then dedicated to the St. Petersburg Chamber Music Society after being made an Honorary Member. The two sextets are performed alongside Stravinsky's Three Pieces for String Quartet.
