Cancelled: Cheltenham Music Festival - Carducci Quartet and Clare Hammond

For the final Pump Room concert of this year's Festival, the much-loved Carducci Quartet is joined by pianist Clare Hammond for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No 24. One of only two minor-key concertos written by Mozart, the work has a reflective, and intimate quality, perfect for this chamber music arrangement. The programme closes with one of Beethoven’s revered ‘late’ quartets, written following his recovery from a debilitating illness. Deeply personal, Op 132 is striking in the profundity of its expression. This is particularly noticeable in one of the composer's most heart-felt slow movements, in which he gives thanks to God for his returning good health.

Kindly supported by Mary Mackenzie, Richard Walton and friends
