Programme

Spohr sextet Op.140
Brahms sextet Op.18

We have asked our friends Trish Calnan (viola) and Rebecca Allnatt ‘cello’ to join us to perform two sextets. That’s 2 Violins, 2 Violas and 2 Cellos.
The first by Louis Spohr is a delightful, melodic work and the second, Johannes Brahms’ sextet in Bb major, shows the composer at his best. Full of ideas, romantic and innovative, it is a true masterpiece.

Tickets £15, under 18s free, which we would prefer you to buy in advance. They will be available from The Topsham Bookshop and for online bookings contact [email protected] or 01803 863677
