In the third edition of our hugely popular hour-long series, we welcome our new Resident Quartet, the Piatti, to perform Dvořák’s last three quartets and his piano quintet, lovingly set up with musical preludes.

By 1895, Dvořák had returned to what is now the Czech Republic to write this mighty life affirming 13th quartet, full of the love and sounds of his Bohemian homeland.

Charlotte Harding’s Iorsa was commissioned by the Piatti Quartet and Three Choirs Festival in 2022. This short effective work brings the listener to the windswept and rugged Glen Iorsa on the isle of Arran. It represents a place to listen or at times cry out.

The performance will last approximately 1 hour, without an interval.
