The Edinburgh Quartet concerts at the Macphail Centre, Ullapool.

 This year there is a rare opportunity to hear two of Schubert’s greatest chamber music works in successive concerts – the mighty G major quartet and the sublime C major string quintet.  Both are packed with exquisite themes and ferocious passion. Schubert knew he had not long to live and his response was to compose some of the finest music in the classical repertoire.

The two programmes are supplemented by works of Haydn, Telemann, Silvestrini and Scotland’s Sally Beamish. They are played, as always, by the course tutors the wonderful Edinburgh String Quartet, plus Rosie Staniforth (oboe) and Clare Juan (cello).

Concert programmes are included in the ticket price.
