String Quintets in Wellington

On Sunday 3 December at 3 pm we will be joined by our friend and colleague NZSO bassist Sasha Gunchenko for a house concert in Kelburn. We present two richly varied pieces for string quintet. French Romantic composer George Onslow’s String Quintet No 15 in C minor Op 29 is called ‘The Bullet’. In this exciting autobiographical piece Onslow depicts a hunting accident and his subsequent illness and recovery. Our second piece is a classic of the chamber music repertoire: Dvorak’s quirky and richly varied String Quintet No 2 in G Op 77. Refreshments are included in the ticket price of $35. RSVP by Sunday 26 November to Alan, al.w.clayton@icloud.com, 021 0237 7270 to reserve your seats ($35 each). You will then be sent payment details. Seating is limited to 60 people for this concert, so be in quick if you’d like to attend. Please note your seats are only confirmed on receipt of payment.
