About the event
We welcome the supremely talented musicians of Maiastra for another chamber music performance in St Mary's.
On the programme is Mendelssohn’s dramatically passionate String Quartet in E minor, Op. 44 No. 2, followed by Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 14 in C# minor, Op. 131. This monumental string quartet, in seven movements and played without breaks, was completed less than one year before his death. Schubert famously remarked, “After this, what is left for us to write?”.
