A gripping season of stellar international artists performing over six concerts.
Following JW3’s inaugural sell out classical music season, JW3 is thrilled to now announce an exciting second season, The Classical Music Series 2024-2025, to run from Thursday 5 September 2024 through to Wednesday 12 March 2025.
The season opens on Thursday 5 September 2024, with the multi award winning pianist Steven Osborne OBE, in a programme that includes some twenty very short pieces by Robert Schumann and Claude Debussy through to Franz Schubert Piano Sonata in A major, written when the young composer discovered he was terminally ill.
Thursday 10 October 2024: international tenor Ian Bostridge and Mishka Rushdie Momen, perform Schwanengesang, by Franz Schubert, written at the end of his life.
Tuesday 5 November 2024 is the first of the three piano quartet concerts. This concert will feature Anthony Marwood (violin), Garfield Jackson (viola), David Waterman (cello) and Mishka Rushdie Momen (piano); who will be performing Antonin Dvořák’s delightful Sonatina in G Major, Johannes Brahms‘s C minor Piano Quartet (arguably one of the greatest masterworks of the genre); and Gabriel Fauré‘s Piano Quartet no.2 in G minor with its truly overwhelming energy.
Into 2025, The Classical Music Series bursts into the New Year on Thursday 23 January 2025 with the hugely exciting Doric String Quartet performing a sneak preview of their lyrical and intimate interpretation of Beethoven‘s String Quartet in A minor, op.132. They will also perform Joseph Haydn‘s richly inventive String Quartet and Benjamin Britten‘s short and brilliant Three Divertimenti - a March, a Waltz and a wild Burlesque.
Sunday 2 February 2025, the second piano quartet concert brings together: Sini Simonen (Violin), Alasdair Beatson (Piano) Garfield Jackson (Viola) and David Waterman (Cello) who team up once again after their 42 years in the world-renowned Endellion Quartet.
In the final concert on Wednesday 12 March 2025 is the piano quartet, a gathering of brilliant international soloists: Irène Duval (violin), Asbjørn Nørgaard (viola), David Waterman (cello) and Connie Shih (piano). The concert will include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s E minor masterpiece for piano and violin; Gabriel Fauré’s first youthful and imaginative piano quartet. The programme finishes with Johannes Brahms’s first piano quartet and its vigorous and thrilling Finale in the Zingarese (Gypsy) style.
