The Bingham String Quartet Saturday 7th May, 7.30pm The BSQ takes innovative programming - premieres, cross-cultural and multimedia works, electronics and new technology - and combines it with many years experience and familiarity with the great classical string quartet repertoire, thereby fusing together the fragments of these colliding worlds. BSQ programming is tremendously varied, making use of its vast range of repertoire, and aims to defy the perceived barriers of the string quartet by juxtaposing differing musical styles and languages to provide an“edge of the seat”experience.

Ian Pace Saturday 4th June, 7.30pm Ian Pace’s extensive repertoire of classical works includes in particular the Sonatas of Beethoven and Schubert, Liszt’s original works and operatic transcriptions, the works of Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, Debussy, Ravel, Ives, Janacek, Bartok, Stravinsky, Schoenberg and many others.
