ALBION QUARTET

The British Quartet – Concert 1: ‘Folk’

Schubert String Quartet No. 13 in A minor, D804 Rosamunde Maconchy String Quartet No. 3 Dvořák String Quartet No. 10 in E flat, Op. 51 Slavonic

Tamsin Waley-Cohen violin Emma Parker violin Rosalind Ventris viola Nathaniel Boyd cello

In their LCMS and Kings Place debut, the newly formed Albion Quartet presents the first of four concerts across 2017–19, each one linking British and European music via a particular theme. This first programme considers the concept of ‘folk’ music as absorbed into the string quartet. Schubert’s chamber music is infused with folk idioms – from dances, lullabies, hurdy-gurdies to street songs.

Elizabeth Maconchy’s enormous contribution to British quartet literature – 14 in all – distils the folk idioms of early 20th-century British music and of her teacher Vaughan Williams through the filter of Janáček, Bartók, Pijper and other European modernists, in the most concentrated and compelling way. Dvořák’s enshrinement of his native Bohemian folk tradition is nowhere clearer than in his 10th quartet, which includes one of his finest dumkas, as well as a skočná. Later concerts in the series will consider the themes of ‘hymns’, ‘war’ and ‘mentors’. 29 OCT 5 NOV 12 NOV

HUGO TICCIATI & FRIENDS

Portrait Part of Time Unwrapped

Messiaen Theme and Variations Improvisation around Bach Lutosławski Partita for violin and piano Rameau Suite in A minor (1728) (excerpts) Allemande, Les trois mains, Gavotte et six Doubles Ravel Piano Trio

Hugo Ticciati violin Natacha Kudritskaya piano Julian Arp cello

Violinist Hugo Ticciati, artist-in-residence for Time Unwrapped, explores time from multiple perspectives in this French-inflected portrait recital.

A Bach Partita is the starting point for an improvisation, and finds echoes in Rameau’s delicate Suite and Lutosławski’s own Partita, a work which also escapes time in its aleatoric episodes, where chance and choice come into play. Messiaen’s Theme and Variations recalls and reinvents its theme through five variations, culminating in a spell-binding suspended finale.

Ticciati is joined by cellist Julian Arp and pianist Natacha Kudritskaya for Ravel’s ravishing Piano Trio, in which the composer plays with dance metres and returns us to Bach in a grave Passacaglia.
