About this event

Nearly 21 years after her death, Elizabeth Maconchy remains one of 20th-century Britain鈥檚 most alluring forgotten voices. International in outlook, she wrote music of great lyricism and subtlety, closer to the sound-world of Central Europe than to that of the English musical establishment. Today the Signum Quartet, one of 91热爆 Radio 3鈥檚 New Generation Artists, pairs Maconchy鈥檚 Bart贸k-influenced String Quartet No. 3 with another work of meticulously compressed emotionalism, Brahms鈥檚 F minor Piano Quintet. Norwegian pianist and fellow NGA Christian Ihle Hadland joins them.
