Experience the transcendent beauty of chamber music as the acclaimed Alma Moodie Quartet presents two undisputed masterpieces.

Opening with pristine elegance, Haydn’s ‘Emperor’ Quartet’s true splendour comes alive in the second movement – a set of variations on the melody he composed for Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, which later became the German national anthem. As noble themes pass from instrument to instrument, so too builds the complexity and richness of this great work. 

Having already declared his retirement, Brahms was lured back to his love of composition upon hearing acclaimed clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld. With profound emotional depths, his Clarinet Quintet is a true return to form, intertwining woodwind and strings through conversations of heart-stopping tenderness and nostalgic beauty. Illuminating every nuance of this personal work, Alma Moodie Quartet, joined by guest clarinetist Olivia Hans-Rosenbaum, masterfully showcases Brahms’ heart-stopping tenderness and nostalgic beauty.
