They will be playing a quartet bursting with folk melodies\, dances and life – quartet no 1 ‘From my Life’ by the 19th century Czech composer Bedřich Smetana\, who was considered by many to be the father of Czech classical music and whose music is inspired by the history\, legends and landscape of his native Bohemia. This autobiographical quartet tells the composer’s life story in four parts\, from the carefree early days of his youth\, through midlife love and heartache\, to his later years\, when the music depicts the anguish he felt with the onset of his deafness. \nElizabeth Maconchy was born in England to Irish parents. She studied with Ralph Vaughan Williams. Feeling drawn to the music of Eastern Europe and composers such as Janáček\, she travelled to Prague to study with Czech composer Karel Boleslav Jirák. Her quartet no. 3 is short but intensely felt\, with discussion between the four players around a central theme that dominates with intent. \nKateřina Horká is an emerging Czech composer. Her String Quartet no. 2 ‘Icelandic Landscape’ was the winning piece of the 7th Antonín Dvořák Composition Competition. Kateřina’s music draws inspiration from many styles and genres. This quartet is evocative and spacious\, depicting the vast open spaces of Iceland. \nProgramme:\nBedřich Smetana String Quartet No. 1 in E minor ‘From My Life / Z mého života\nElizabeth Maconchy String Quartet No. 3\, op. 15\nKateřina Horká String Quartet No. 2 ‘Icelandic Landscape’ \nBrother Tree Sound\, string quartet \nHire String Quartets and String Ensembles in London.
