Programme

Haydn String Quartet in G, Op 54 No 1 20'
Judith Bingham
Clarinet Quintet 20' premiere
Brahms
Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op 115 35'

Intimate and lyrical, Brahms’ quintet brings out sadness and anger, humour and serenity through the soaring higher and rich lower tones of the clarinet. This much-loved work is performed here by the world-renowned clarinettist Robert Plane, and is preceded by the world premiere of a commission, written for Robert and the Elias Quartet by Judith Bingham. The Elias Quartet open the programme with a lively work by Haydn – listen out for the competing violins and the delicate, humorous ending.
