Full Event Details
The Bloomsbury Players return with a programme showcasing Dvorak’s double bass quintet on gut strings and in its original 5-movement version (including the extraordinary Intermezzo that was removed). They pair this with Rossini’s first Sonata a quattro, composed when he was only twelve years old, and Fanny Mendelssohn’s rhapsodic and poignant string quartet.
