Coffee Concert

Signs and secret messages

Esme Quartet

Rosalind Ventris viola

Camille Thomas cello

Brahms String Quartet in A minor

Brahms String Sextet in G

Brahms as musical cryptographer. The motto ‘Free, but lonely’ runs through one of his most deeply felt string quartets, whereas an ethereal string sextet enshrines a tender message to Agathe, the fiancée whom Brahms loved but eventually abandoned.

Coffee, tea, soft drinks and biscuits served from 9.30am – 10.45am
