Primrose Piano Quartet
The programme will include:
Mozart Piano Quartet No.1 in G minor K478
Sally Beamish and John Casken Variations on a Burns Air
Fauré Piano Quartet No.1 in C minor Op.15
Formed in 2004 and named after the great violist William Primrose, the group’s acclaimed discography includes works by Fauré, Brahms, Elgar, Strauss and Schubert as well as British masterpieces of the 19th and 20th centuries and major commissions from Sir Peter Maxwell Davies amongst others.
The group’s CD of the complete Brahms piano quartets on period pianos was the culmination of years of research into Historically Informed Performance Practice and has been hailed by critics as ‘revelatory’.
Members of the quartet also have distinguished playing careers outside The Primrose Piano Quartet.
