The Q21 Ensemble collectively encapsulates vast experience and great enthusiasm for historical performance, as principal players in leading ensembles in the UK and abroad, such as The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, The Academy of Ancient Music, B’Rock, Tafelmusik and Florilegium. Their's will be a pioneering performance of Schönberg's 2nd String Quartet on gut strings, bringing warmth and intimacy to a work that broke the rules of Western music. Delighted to be joined by the magnificent Canadian mezzo-soprano Mireille Lebel, she will bring rhapsodic and dramatic flair to the interpretation. Not to be missed!
