Our new Resident Quartet, Piatti, take on our Rush Hour Lates series with four concerts throughout the 2023/2024 season. The concerts – each beginning at 6:45pm, lasting no more than an hour – will include Dvořák’s last three quartets as well as his second piano quintet. Each work by Dvořák will be paired with a musical prelude, including Schubert’s Quartetsatz, Ina Boyle’s Quartet in E minor, Webern’s Langsamer Satz and Charlotte Harding’s Iorsa – a work that was commissioned by the Quartet and Three Choirs Festival in 2022. A highlight of the series will be the world premiere of a new piece written by Manchester-based composer Anna Appleby, commissioned by the Quartet.
