String Sextet led by Darragh Morgan

Join us on Sunday 8 March for an evening of sweeping Romantic expression and chamber music at its most powerful.

This performance of string sextet, led by Darragh Morgan, brings together two landmark works of the Austro German tradition. Brahms’s String Sextet No. 1, radiant and richly lyrical, marked his first great success in writing for strings and remains one of his most beloved chamber works. Alongside it, Schönberg’s Verklärte Nacht offers an intensely emotional and atmospheric journey, composed early in his career and steeped in the sumptuous sound world of late Romanticism.
