Summary
Violinists Georgia Hannant and Gabriel Dyker join CBSO colleagues and pianist John Thwaites to perform Stravinsky and Schumann’s Piano Quintet at the CBSO Centre.
Why it's fantastic
Expect a bracing contrast as Stravinsky’s sharp, modernist miniatures give way to the generous warmth of Schumann’s masterpiece for piano and strings. At just one hour long, this lunchtime performance offers a perfect chance to hear the composer’s most exuberant chamber work in a relaxed, close-up setting.
