Overview

Join a quartet of Scottish Ensemble musicians for a performance of emotional contrasts, bold imagination, and luminous soundscapes.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - String Quartet No.14 in G Major (Spring)

Caroline Shaw - Second Essay (Echo) and Third Essay (Ruby) from Three Essays

Ludwig van Beethoven - String Quartet No.8 in E minor, Op.59 No.2 (Razumovsky)


Mozart’s radiant Spring Quartet, brimming with optimism and glowing with warmth, is heard alongside two of Caroline Shaw’s Essays that shimmer with sonic texture and emotional nuance. The second part of the programme plunges us into the brooding and introspective music of Beethoven. From stormy drama to moments of sublime beauty, this quartet is Beethoven at his most emotionally raw and visceral.

Between Light and Shadow invites you to reflect, to feel, and to hear familiar and new music in fresh perspective.
