A Young Musicians Series Concert

The Trout boasts a revered place in the chamber music pantheon. Yet, unike other works there, such as Beethoven's late quartets or even his own cello quintet to name a few, it was written during a period of carefree youth, and as a result overflows with melodic invention, original textures and harmonic colour. In this concert it is paired with the lesser known Vaughn Williams quintet, also a relatively early work, though for the much slower developing - not to mention longer living - composer.
