bingham string quartetThursday 22 June 8pm
Bingham String Quartet
Evgenia Startseva (piano)

St Michael’s Church, Lower Machen

Haydn String Quartet in D major, Op.33, No.6 (14’)
Shostakovich Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 57 (35’)
Elgar String Quartet in E minor (30’)

Join the Festival’s Quartet-in-residence, the Bingham Quartet for a birthday – Shostakovich’s 100th. In his powerful and dramatic Piano Quintet they are joined by Kazakhstan-born Evgenia Startseva, whose performances at last year’s Festival caused a sensation. Also on the programme is one of Haydn’s wittiest quartets and Elgar’s only string quartet – written in the dying days of the First World War, it is a powerful lament for the passing of worlds.

“Evgenia is a very sensitive, talented and powerful musician, whose playing strives for the greatest meaning and emotion.” Maxim Vengerov

Tickets £9.50 & £7.50 (Concessions)

This concert is sponsored by Mrs Elizabeth Phillips in memory of her husband, David, a true supporter of the Festival.
