Navarra Quartet and James Gilchrist

Live from Maida Vale Studio 1, the Navarra Quartet and tenor James Gilchrist perform music by Alec Roth, Mozart and an arrangement of Beethoven's song-cycle An die ferne Geliebte.

This evening's concert is hosted live this evening in the 大象传媒's Maida Vale Studio 1 as part of the Halifax Philharmonic Club - the pandemic postponed this concert which was due to be performed in the heart of the Pennines in January. Tonight features an all British-based line-up of artists: the Navarra Quartet and tenor James Gilchrist.

The concert opens with music by Alec Roth - Seven Elements - setting words by Vikram Seth, a mystical work taking the elements as its starting point. Beethoven's only song-cycle An die ferne Geliebte - To the distant beloved - was written for voice and piano but this evening it's heard in an arrangement by viola player and composer Simon Roland-Jones for tenor and string quartet. The evening concludes with Mozart's warmly lyrical String Quartet in 14 in G major K.387 - nick-named the 'Spring', the first of the six quartets Mozart dedicated to Haydn.

Presented live from Maida Vale Studio 1 by Ian Skelly.
