Events Description
We are excited to present the final performance of our season. It has been a wonderful year of music-making, and we would like to share our final concert with you at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church; a space we find perfect for the intimate sounds of chamber music.
The Programme
Franz Schubert | Quartet No. 10 in Eb major
Composed when Schubert was just 16, this piece was originally written to be played at home with his father and brothers. Fittingly nicknamed the “Household” Quartet, it captures a charming, youthful spirit.
Giacomo Puccini | Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums) was composed by Puccini in 1890 at age 32. He was moved by the death of Amadeo I of Spain, and composed the work all in one night. White chrysanthemums are used in Italy for funerals and graves, and this piece is a haunting lament. Puccini later incorporated themes from Crisantemi into his opera Manon Lescaut.
Allan Gordon Bell | Phenomena (World Premiere)
We are privileged to present another work of Allan Gordon Bell whose string quartets we have been recording. The latest in the series, Phenomena (2026), is an encounter with the music inherent in five elemental states of being. With five short movements and four even shorter solo commentaries, the piece distills the outsight (Jane Goodall) and in-scape (G.M. Hopkins) that such an encounter evokes. The composer will be present and will speak to us about Phenomena.
