Programme:

Haydn: String Quartet in D minor, Op 76, No 2, "Fifths"
Janá?ek: String Quartet No 1 in E minor, "Kreutzer Sonata"
Brahms: String Quintet No 2 in G major, Op 111

Winners in 2019 of the Royal Philharmonic Young Artist of the Year award, the acclaimed Castalian Quartet will be joined tonight by Hannah Shaw on viola to perform Brahms' String Quintet No 2.

In 2018 the quartet won a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship Award, and were chosen as the winners of the first Merito String Quartet Award and Valentin Erben Prize. The prestigious RPO Young Artist of the Year award followed the next year. Just recently, in September 2021, they were named as the inaugural Hans Keller String Quartet in Residence at the Oxford University Faculty of Music for the next three years.

The quartet have performed in numerous countries. Highlights this season include invitations to Carnegie Hall, Vienna Konzerthaus, Paris Philharmonie, Auditorium du Louvre, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Lucerne Chamber Music Society, Brussels Flagey, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Saffron Hall, as well as a string of festivals in the UK and Europe. A busy schedule - and we are excited to hear them here in Claygate.

The concert will be preceded by a talk by Roy Stratford at 6.45pm. Admission is free with a retiring collection (£3 suggested).

Covid-19: Concert attendees are kindly requested to wear a mask inside the venue and to respect social distancing guidelines.

There will be a short interval, with no refreshments available for the time being.
