Event Details

This event is part of the Incredible Floridas - Chamber Landscapes concert series curated by Kim Williams.

Though massively influential, Margaret Sutherland’s works remain scandalously underperformed. Her Third String Quartet, a taut piece from 1967, sits three decades into her career but was her first commission. A mystical masterwork by ‘Max’ Davies will transport you to a finale of extra-terrestrial beauty, before his former disciple Ross Edwards brings you home with his saxophone quintet, suffused with the sounds of the bush. Percy Grainger makes obvious his love of the sax in some haunting miniatures and Bach fugues, arranged for lots of them.
