Chilingirian String Quartet
“One of the great string quartets of our day.” The Boston Globe
“Performances that will linger long in the memory.” The Daily Telegraph
Join us for an evening of captivating classical music performed in the Gallery.
We’re delighted to welcome the esteemed Chilingirian String Quartet back to the Gallery for a very special concert of music by Debussy and Haydn inspired by our major exhibition Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism.
The Quartet gave its first public concert in Selwyn College, Cambridge in February 1972 and became one of the world’s most celebrated and widely travelled ensembles. The Quartet has built an extensive and critically acclaimed discography of works by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Bartok, Dvorak, and other major composers. It has also released ground-breaking recordings of masterworks by contemporary composers, such as Michael Tippett, John Tavener, Hugh Wood and Michael Berkeley.
Please note that doors for this event will open at 6pm and the café will be open for refreshments until 6:30pm. The performance starts at 6:30pm.
The Gallery will remain open until 8.30pm, giving you time to explore our new exhibition Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism.
