Programme Note
The 2022 appearance of the Zoffany Ensemble at Conway Hall featured “pen-hearted and engaging playing… heady drama in the finale…”, and “the high-spirited finish had the audience cheering.” (The Strad) They return with a programme of string quintets, opening with Michael Haydn, younger brother of Josef, whose first quintets pre-date those by Mozart. Beethoven’s only string quintet, composed during his 'middle period' (around the time he was writing the C minor piano concerto and the second symphony) is followed by Mozart’s great G minor essay in the genre to complete an exciting programme
About the Sunday Concerts
Founded in the 1880s, our chamber music concert series is the longest-running of its kind in Europe. Conway Hall was purpose-built in 1929 to host concerts and lectures, and they have continued here until the present day. The ethos of “affordable classical music for all” still remains.
