Part of the Music in Peebles 2018/19

Add to my Calendar 13-01-2019 14:30 13-01-2019 16:30 36 Music in Peebles: Navarra String Quartet Since its formation in 2002, the Navarra Quartet has built an international reputation as one of the most dynamic and poetic string quartets of today. In his fourth quartet, written in 1999, Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks reflects on the 20th century – it is sombre in mood, but healed by “love’s power and idealism”. The Ravel quartet, suave, sensuous and full of French panache, is one of the most popular chamber works of the 20th century. The programme ends with one of the greatest and best-loved of all string quartets, written as Schubert contemplated his own early death.
