original works

Mahan Mirarab, guitar
vision string quartet

At Newport for the first time, the Proms hosts a string ensemble from Berlin that is half quartet, half band 鈥� and the programme it brings proves the point. The first half sees Bloch鈥檚 solemn Prelude and one of Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 most astonishing string quartets 鈥� a piece charged by Romantic emotions but imbued with Classical order. After the interval the rules go out of the window thanks to the boundless energy of the vision string quartet鈥檚 collaboration with Mahan Mirarab, the guitarist who combines the sounds of the Middle East with jazz. Expect grooving rhythms, tearaway improvisations and an irresistible fusion of musical worlds.
