Amy Tress and William Newell (violins), Stephen Upshaw (viola) and Stephanie Tress (cello); with vocalist, Alice Zawadzki.
Two giant musical voices of the late twentieth century meet in this this concert. Solem Quartet perform Steve Reich’s iconic Different Trains, and vocalist Alice Zawadzki joins them for songs by Kate Bush, newly arranged for string quartet and voice. The set will also feature some of Alice’s exquisite compositions.
Praised for their “immaculate precision and spirit” (The Strad) and “cultured tone” (Arts Desk), the Solem Quartet is one of the most innovative and adventurous quartets of its generation. They have a busy concert schedule of international tours and performances, are regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and are the Quartet in Residence at the
University of Liverpool.
