Tonight’s concert brings together a constellation of world-class musicians, highly sought after on the international stage. Featuring Maria Wloszczowska, Pablo Hernán Benedí, and Tim Crawford on violin; Michel Camille and Hélène Clément on viola; and Pau Codina and Eddie Pogossian on cello, the evening promises an unparalleled experience.

The programme opens with Mozart’s String Quintet No. 4 in G minor, K. 516, one of his most profound works. The concert will continue with Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello, a piece known for its innovative interplay between the two instruments and infused with the spirit of Les Apaches, a group of artists and writers co-founded by Ravel who embraced art contrary to conservative tastes. The evening concludes with Korngold’s lush, romantically styled Sextet for Strings in D Major, Op. 10, a foretaste of his later success in Hollywood. Each composition not only showcases the virtuosity of the performers but also the deep emotional landscapes they can explore.
