Presented by Canterbury Music Club
The Mirari Quartet is a dynamic, emerging string quartet active in Europe.
Passionate about connecting with audience members from all backgrounds, the Cordelia Quartet is a versatile ensemble comprised of students at RCM and are capable of performing repertoire from a diverse array of periods and genres.
They are involved in intensive online and live masterclasses, performing repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary works including Nielsen’s Quartet No. 2. Matthew Brown is a British composer, whose music is described as tonal and ranges from dark and subdued, expansive and lush, to alight with energy. His recent compositions are influenced by world music, dance music and jazz.
The Cordelia and Mirari String Quartets perform Haydn and Mozart quartets respectively in part 1 and together Mendelssohn’s Octet in part 2. The latter is heralded by the world premiere of Matthew Brown’s overture-like octet for strings, especially commissioned for CMC’s 85th Season.
Free for Unders25s.
