Dvorak's String Sextet was written during an inspired time of his life, supported with grants on the cusp of launching his career.
The Sextet pays a beautiful homage to his Bohemian heritage, using folk melodies and dances in delightful ways throughout the piece.
We take it up a notch and perform Joachim Raff's dazzling Octet, an unknown gem composed by a Swiss composer who was during his lifetime compared to the likes of Mendelsohn and Schumann and is now enjoying a renaissance as people now rediscover his works.
Come experience the lush sound strings in a stunning candlelit setting - it will be a night to be remembered!
