Kicking the Festival off with a bang! Hear the Ying Quartet in Schumann’s fiery and passionate F Major string quartet, and revel in the artistry of their virtuoso first violinist in the Saint-Saens Fantasy with harpist Helen Webby. Martin Lodge’s Aria offers Rolf and David the opportunity to sing together in true cello style. Argentina’s Osvaldo Golijov has become a household name with his compelling mix of classical technique and Latin/Jewish ardour. His Clarinet Quintet is a modern classic, heavily influenced by Klezmer music – it features no less than five different clarinets!
