| 24-Feb-2013 St Mary's Cathedral | RSNO chamber musicians play Bartók, Beethoven and Brahms |
 Built by the prolific George Gilbert Scott (1811–78), St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Glasgow was opened in 1871. Now featuring Gwyneth Leech’s striking 1990 murals, including a triptych of the Easter Passion set in nearby Kelvingrove Park, it is a frequent venue for events such as this RSNO chamber concert. From a dais placed in the crossing of this intimate cathedral setting, a string quartet (later to be augmented to clarinet quintet) enjoyed an acoustic which, save for one brief, busy moment, offered a winning mix of clarity and warmth.Read full review... | |

 On Thursday 15 March, the Jerusalem String Quartet strode onto the stage of Richardson Auditorium all wearing the same smart suits. The four young players played a pleasant program of early string quartets by Beethoven, Debussy, and Brahms. The ensemble includes Alexander Pavlovsky (Violin I), Sergei Bresler (Violin II), Ori Kam (Viola), and Kyril Zlotnikov (cello) – musicians who met at conservatory, and since have toured the world and signed a record deal with the highly exclusive label Harmonia Mundi.

This evening’s concert by the Allegri String Quartet, held in the music department as part of the University’s Musicon series included the première of Anthony Payne’s String Quartet No. 2, and in a few words before the performance, the composer reminded us that he studied music at Durham in the 1950s.Read full review... | |
