About

Concert I in the Spring Concert Series features The Bloomsbury Players, showcasing Dvořák's double bass quintet, performed on gut strings and in its original 5-movement version (including the extraordinary Intermezzo).

They pair this with Rossini's first Sonata a quattro, composed when he was just twelve years old, and Fanny Mendelssohn's rhapsodic and poignant String Quartet in E-flat – her only mature work for that ensemble.

There will be a pre-concert conversation with the members of the quintet at 6:30pm which is free to attend.
