Belfast Music Society International Festival of Chamber Music 2023 (4/4)
Works by Beethoven, Howells and Prokofiev, performed at the 2023 Belfast Music Society International Festival of Chamber Music.
John Toal presents the last recital in our series of Lunchtime Concerts from this year's Belfast Music Society International Festival of Chamber Music, performed in the Great Hall at Queen's University, Belfast.
In this final programme we begin with Beethoven's String Quartet No. 8 in E minor, the second from his opus 59 set, performed by the London-based Marmen Quartet. We then welcome back mezzo-soprano Claire Barnett-Jones with pianist Rebecca Cohen for a performance of Howell's King David based on text by the English poet Walter de la Mare, with the composer considering it one of his best works.
