Event Details

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

A gorgeous afternoon of rich string textures from Sutherland, Sculthorpe (his deeply moving Irkanda IV) and Glanville-Hicks, surrounding two ‘greatest hits’: Elena Kats-Chernin’s winsome Wild Swans Suite and Grainger’s outwardly breezy (but fiendishly difficult) riff on The Harmonious Blacksmith, Handel in the Strand. All delivered by definitive performers.
