The Hallé’s lunchtime Chamber Series at Hallé St Peter’s provides a unique opportunity to hear players and guest artists perform in more intimate surroundings.

Eva Thorarinsdottir and friends open the Hallé’s Chamber Series with Schubert’s Quintet in C major, Desert Island Discs’ most frequently requested piece of chamber music. The addition of a second cello to the usual quartet line-up gives an unparalleled richness, and the music travels from the symphonic scale of the first movement to the exuberant folk-tinged finale, via one of the most sublime slow movements. 

 

Due to unforseen circumstances Roberto Ruisi will not be performing in this concert. We are grateful to Eva Thorarinsdottir for stepping in.
