Programme
Overview
Immerse yourself in Britten’s homage to Purcell as the Leonkoro Quartet performs his haunting Third String Quartet. A prelude of evocative readings from Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice deepens this evening of musical and literary brilliance.Join the Leonkoro Quartet for an evening that celebrates Britten’s deep affinity for Henry Purcell’s baroque genius, weaving lush melodic ornamentation with modern harmonic daring. Before the music begins, a distinguished broadcaster will read evocative passages from Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice, setting a tone of introspection and heightened emotion. Then, witness the Quartet’s masterful performance of Britten’s Third String Quartet – the composer’s last profound statement, completed mere weeks before his death in 1976 – in which moments of luminous serenity collide with surges of raw intensity. This unique programme invites you to explore the timeless dialogue between text, sound and human yearning.
