Navarra String Quartet

Defining music from three classical giants is the focus for the Navarra Quartet’s Turner Sims debut. The first of Mozart’s 26 quartets dates from 1770 when the composer was just 14 whilst Haydn’s work comes from the set of six collectively known as the Sun quartets and regarded as landmarks in the history of the genre.

The concert ends with another landmark work, Beethoven’s monumental penultimate quartet, an intense seven movement work played without a break.
