Chamber Spotlight: Folk Focus
Royal College of Music, Performance Hall, SW7 2BS , [Venue Details]The timeless, intimate – and often raucous – world of folk music comes to the Royal College of Music via arrangements of traditional folksong alongside music inspired by this distinctive style.
Trad (arr Danish String Quartet) Folksongs
Dvořák Piano Quintet no 2 in A major op 81 B 155
Enjoy a selection of Scandinavian folksongs arranged by the Danish String Quartet – an ensemble that has devoted much of the last decade to bringing this beautiful repertoire to new audiences. The programme culminates in Dvořák’s Piano Quintet no 2, a work in which, unusually, he did not use authentic Czech folk tunes but composed his own – including a finale that evokes the quick Bohemian dance known as the ‘furiant’.
