NAVARRA STRING QUARTET

NAVARRA STRING QUARTET

Bath Festival

United Kingdom

NAVARRA STRING QUARTET

Beethoven’s Quartet Op 131 is one of his most extraordinary works and formed the backdrop to the film A Late Quartet. Here it is combined with a beautifully elegiac work by the Latvian Peteris Vasks, and the programme opens with one of Haydn’s most life affirming quartets. The Navarra Quartet are one of the UK’s leading young quartets, last appearing in Bath in 2011 in a packed out concert. They join us again this year for a two concert residency (2nd concert on Sat 28 May) this will be a great opportunity to hear their spirited and fresh approach, which has won them much international acclaim:

“the immaculately executed white-knuckle ride set up by the Navarras.” – Gramophone

“… compelling performances … hotly recommended” – BBC Music Magazine 5 star review of the Navarras recording of the Vasks quartets
