Strings Attached 2025-2026
We were delighted to welcome back the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective to open the 2025/26 season last month. They thrilled us with a varied programme which, in the words of Tom Poster himself, included something neglected, something new and something established. On this occasion the neglected was Dora Pejačević’s Piano Quartet and the new was the world première of Robin Holloway’s Piano Quartet dedicated to Tom. The composer was in the audience and was given resounding applause. The concert ended more traditionally with Brahms.
All concerts begin at 11am.
