The Lion Ballroom, Lion Yard, Broad Street, Leominster HR6 8DB

Schubert adored making music in intimate settings – people’s homes, coffee houses,
small assembly rooms – where he would gather a small audience to showcase his new
compositions and sometimes those of other composers and enjoy being immersed in
‘the arts’. Invariably, wine and Viennese sweetmeats would be served. Such
gatherings were called ‘Schubertiads’. The Lion Ballroom is one such intimate venue
that, no doubt, Schubert would have loved. The concert will feature two of his finest
works – his Quartettsatz and his great String Quintet alongside the première of a
String Quintet by composer and arranger Derek Smith.
