Festival

Chetham`s at 50

From January to December 2019, we’ll be celebrating Chetham’s – its people, its stories, and its next fifty years.

Programme

Dmitri Shostakovich: Quartet Movement in Eb major `Unfinished Quartet`

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: String Quartet no. 19 in C major "Dissonance", K465

Dmitri Shostakovich: Two Pieces for String Quartet: Elegy & Polka

Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in D major, Op. 50 No. 6 `The Frog`

Overview

Having made its debut performance in 1969, the Fitzwilliam is now one of the longest established string quartets in the world. One of many highlights in its fifty year journey was a close personal association with Dmitri Shostakovich and a central role in championing his works; the great composer himself described the Fitzwilliams as his, “preferred performers of my quartets”.

The quartet’s virtuosic programme for The Stoller Hall includes two works by Shostakovich himself, alongside one of Mozart’s most celebrated compositions in the genre and Haydn’s witty and energetic ‘The Frog’.

Venue Info

The Stoller Hall - Manchester
Hunts Bank

The Stoller Hall is situated in Chetham’s new School building, which opened in 2012. A void was deliberately left in the shell of the building for a planned concert hall, with the assumption that years of fundraising still lay ahead before that could become a reality.

The Stoller Hall boasts many innovative features, from the ability to separate public and performance areas from the day-to-day operations of the school to an adaptable extending stage that creates space for a full symphony orchestra in rehearsal or recording.

The Hall’s stunning visual design meant that it was named one of the 49 best new buildings in the UK by RIBA in 2017.
