Brahms – Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op.115

Marking the third and final year of their current association with the festival, the Consone Quartet and their special guests are presenting an outstanding series of programmes.

They complete their Robert Schumann cycle with the first quartet, a piece that was dedicated to the composer’s great friend Mendelssohn, but which is irresistibly drawn towards regular references to Beethoven’s late quartets. The Clarinet Quintet is one of Brahms’s last works and is considered by many to be his most profound chamber composition. An air of melancholy pervades, but the work is punctuated by moments of wild frenzy, not least in the extraordinary ‘Bohemian’ outburst in the slow movement.

POST CONCERT: Stay for a short informal Q&A immediately after the concert.
