Programme Note
Former BBC3 New Generation Artists, the Elias String Quartet quickly established themselves as one of the most intense and vibrant quartets of their generation. This programme opens with one of Haydn’s ‘Prussian’ quartets - rarely, if ever, performed at our concerts - and closes with familiar Beethoven. The central work introduces us to the blend of European Romanticism and African-American heritage characteristic of the music of Florence Price (1887-1953).
