PRE-CONCERT TALK WITH PROFESSOR LAURA TUNBRIDGE
A string quartet concert was likened by Goethe to hearing ‘four intelligent people conversing among themselves’. But is conversation still a useful model for how string quartets communicate in the twenty-first century? Laura Tunbridge investigates these and related questions about quartet interaction with live examples by student musicians.

Presented by The Cultural Programme in association with the Faculty of Music, University of Oxford, where the Castalian String Quartet are The Hans Keller String Quartet in Residence. Made possible thanks to The Cosman Keller Art & Music Trust.
