Piatti Quartet

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with loved ones in an evening of Tchaikovsky’s String Quartet No.1 and Borodin’s Quartet No.2. Both, much loved quartets, serve as sources of inspiration both to the composer’s closest relationships and as inspiration to other artists, such as Leo Tolstoy who was brought to tears upon hearing Tchaikovsky’s Quartet.

**Borodin** Quartet No.2 in D

**Tchaikovsky** String Quartet No.1 in D

Cinematic Quartets

Piatti Quartet present a music and words programme taking a contemporary look at our relationship with nature and the English landscape.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

This programme is centred around the evocative poet, Alice Oswald, and equally compelling composer with whom the Piatti Quartet have built up a close relationship – Joseph Phibbs, the programme begins with the miniature and intimate, then opens out as the poetry and visuals guide you through woodland, waterfalls, the sea, the sky and lastly the moon and stars. The Quartet is joined by *The Imitation Game* actor Alex Lawther.

*The performance will last approximately 70 minutes, without an interval.*
