Mozart - String Quintet in C major K.515 [1787]
Brahms - String Quintet in B minor Op.115 [1891]

Adjectives have been heaped on Mozart’s C major quintet – elegant , sublime, majestic, joyful, bewitching… call it what you will, they are all testament to its timeless appeal. We call it the Champagne Quintet, after its bubbly opening!

The Brahms Quintet may never have been played in Ireland before, it is hard to know. It is Brahms’ own alternative version of his famous clarinet quintet, with the clarinet part being played by a solo viola. No-one better to take on this monumental challenge than the Vanbrugh’s Simon Aspell!

Part of a tour supported by the Arts Council and RTE Lyric FM
