Kreutzers, Bridget McRae and Jeremy Dale Roberts

This was an amazing series to be a part of.  Each of the six concerts featured one of the op.18 quartets alongside other works by Beethoven and his contemporaries, plus premieres by Jeremy Dale Roberts (broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s ‘Here and Now’), David Matthews, Sadie Harrison, David Gorton, Edward Cowie and Michael Finnissy.  With guest artists Bridget McRae (Solo Cellist of the Munich Chamber Orchestra), Emily Beynon (Principal Flute of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra), Aaron Shorr (Head of Piano, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland), Chris Redgate (Oboe, Evelyn Barbirolli Fellow at the Royal Academy of Music), Diana Mathews (viola, well known to Wilton’s audiences for her collaborations with the Quartet) and members of the New London Chamber Choir.  More about the series here: Beethoven Begins
