RSNO String Sextet with Lawrence Power

The evening

Take Brahms at his happiest, add six terrific musicians (including viola sensation Lawrence Power), throw in some glorious tunes and the result is irresistible. But if Brahms’ First Sextet is true musical sunshine, Schoenberg’s ‘Transfigured Night’ is deep, velvety darkness. A tale of forbidden love poured out in some of the most sensuous music ever written, this is half an hour of decadence at its most delirious. Pure joy meets ultimate passion in one incredible afternoon of music.
