Kings Place - Hall One

Hummel

String Quartet in G Op.30 No.2

Peter Fribbins

String Quartet No.2 ‘After Cromer’

Beethoven

String Quartet in Ef Op.127

Mozart’s composition student, Johann Nepomuk Hummel was a slightly younger contemporary of Beethoven, and they became good friends. The famous Chilingirian String Quartet here performs one of Hummel’s Op.30 quartets (composed in 1803) and Beethoven's late Op.127 quartet (composed in 1825). In between comes a performance of the second quartet by Peter Fribbins, commissioned by the Chilingirian Quartet in 2005 and based on an English hymn known as ‘Cromer’.
