Skipton Music Presents: Solem Quartet & Shiry Rashkovsky
Wallen and Mendelssohn Quintets
Praised for their ‘immaculate precision and spirit’ (The Strad) and ‘cultured tone’ (Arts Desk), the Solem Quartet has established itself as one of the most innovative and adventurous quartets of its generation.
For this concert the group is joined by violist Shiry Rashkovsky to perform two quintets by Felix Mendelssohn and leading British contemporary composer, Errollyn Wallen – the latter personally commissioned by Shiry and first performed in spring 2024.
Programme to include:
Henriëtte Bosmans String Quartet
Errollyn Wallen LENCTEN
Felix Mendelssohn String Quintet No 1
