The BSO are delighted to be bringing chamber music to Shaftesbury! Our Principal String Players will be performing three luscious quintets. The pearl of Bruckner’s String Quintet, the Adagio, gifts a tender and beautiful sound as it flows down a stream of seemingly infinite emotion. Mozart’s String Quintet No. 4 is dark and melancholic, yet the moments of peace and euphoria create a vivid polarity. And Dvořák gifts us a charming musical postcard of his bohemian summer in the American countryside.

BSO On Your Doorstep is an initiative which sees a selection of BSO musicians playing in chamber ensembles as the Orchestra goes on the road, reconnecting with audiences across the South West and bringing live music directly to local communities!

This performance is generously supported by the Valentine Charitable Trust
