Kettering Piano Quartet
We are delighted to be welcoming the Kettering Piano Quartet back to The Friends’ School in 2019. The Quartet was a resident ensemble in 2018 and will be so again this year, working with Friends’ School music students and providing access for Friends’ students to the public concerts to be held in The Farrall Centre.
The Quartet’s first public concert will take place Sunday 7 April at 2.00pm and the next on Sunday 1 September at⋅2.00pm. In both instances, the Quartet will be joined by guest violinist Hayato Simpson to perform piano quintet repertoire.
The concert on 7 April will feature piano quintets by Hummel and Shostakovich.
Friends’ School students are welcome to attend free of charge. Members of the general public may purchase tickets via the TSO Box Office or at the door.
