Event overview
Students on the BMus Music composition pathway have their pieces workshopped by ensemble in residence, The Kreutzer Quartet.
All are welcome to observe this masterclass. The Kreutzer Quartet will be giving a free concert in the evening, performing works by Finnissy in his 70th year, plus a world premiere by Sadie Harrison.
The Kreutzer Quartet has forged an enviable reputation as one of the Europe’s most dymanic and innovative string quartets. They are the dedicatees of numerous works, and over many years forged creative partnerships with composers including Sir Michael Tippett, David Matthews, Michael Finnissy, Judith Weir, and Haflidi Hallgrimsson. They have a particularly strong relationship to a cross-section of leading American composers, having collaborated intensively with the great George Rochberg in the last few years of his life, as long as working closely with figures as Elliott Schwartz, and the prolific symphonist Gloria Coates. As recording artists they have won critical acclaim for their discs on the Naxos, Metier, and Chandos labels.
