Sunday Concerts: Carducci Quartet

Posthumously discovered by Moeran's widow in 1950, British composer Ernest John Moeran's E flat quartet is an early work, set in two movements in a relaxed mood, and full of echoes of Ireland, where Moeran spent much of his life. Borodin's second quartet (with the famous 'Notturno') continues the programme, before Dvorak's 12th quartet, composed during the composer's time in the United States, provides a light-hearted, celebratory finale to the evening!

The Sunday Concerts trace their history back to 1878 when the People's Concert Society was formed for the purpose of "increasing the popularity of good music by means of affordable concerts". The South Place Ethical Society acquired the concert series and, in 1929, had Conway Hall purpose built for them and, with the exception of the war years, the concerts seasons have continued ever since.
