Summary
CBSO string players perform works by Aulin, Sally Beamish and Beethoven at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall, featuring violinists Colette Overdijk and Georgia Hannant, violist Amy Thomas and cellist Arthur Boutillier.
Why it's fantastic
This lunchtime session moves from the sun-drenched, jazz-inspired rhythms of California to the stormy energy of Beethoven’s early string quartets. It is a cleverly paced half-hour of music that feels remarkably intimate in a large hall, offering a rare chance to see these orchestral players spotlighted in a smaller group.
