Kettle’s Yard Chamber Music Autumn Term 2019
Welcome to the 2019–20 Chamber Music Concert Series. Van Kuijk Quartet
17 October
I’m delighted to share with you our programme of concerts for the Mozart: Divertimento, K.138
2019–20 season and hope you will find plenty here to enjoy. As ever I Shostakovich: Quartet No.8
have tried to synthesise that special blend that characterises music at Beethoven: String Quartet, Op.59 No.3
Kettle’s Yard – traditional and new, familiar and surprising – and that
goes for players as well as repertoire. Here you will find the ambrosia of Lonarc Oboe Trio
Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn and Schubert spritzed with Lutoslawski and 24 October
Berg and chased up to date by Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Joey Rukens. Johan Went: Variations on a Theme “The quality [of the Lonarc Oboe Trio]
by Haydn is unquestionable and the entire
This year we have perhaps more ensemble playing than ever – no fewer Beethoven: Trio, Op.87 experience in their company,
than six quartets will perform and we’ve mustered two quintets as well. Josef Triebensee: Trio in F major utterly delightful.”
We start the series with the Van Kuijk Quartet who gave a memorable James Horan: Variations Humoresque on Simon Emes,
performance for us in St John’s Divinity School back in 2017 but will ‘Carnival of Venice’ (1995) Malaysian Symphony Orchestra
now experience the delights of our home acoustic. The Maxwell Quartet
return too, spicing their offering with idiosyncratic renditions of Scottish
folk music. And look through these pages to find plenty more, each with
their own particular character, like newcomers the Consone Quartet, just
selected for the prestigious BBC New Generation Artists scheme.

To balance these collectives come a number of superb individual players.
We welcome Daniel Rowland (late of the Brodsky Quartet) always
fizzing with enthusiasm, Alasdair Beatson on piano, young cellist Jamal
Aliyev and Sicilian rising star, pianist Giuseppe Guarrera. And the walls
will ring with song – ancient and modern, soprano and baritone – always
memorable in the intimate surroundings of Kettle’s Yard.
Our loyal band of subscribers knows well the pleasures of spending
Thursday evenings listening to music in this unique place. A subscription
ticket offers outstanding value for all fifteen chamber concerts,
representing a saving of £110 over the year. Please turn to the back page
for information.
I hope you will join me to enjoy another exciting series of concerts and
I look forward to welcoming you.
Justin Lee, Chamber Music Programmer
