Bryn Harrison is a well-established British composer, but this is his first string quartet (composed last year), and a major statement, lasting a full hour.
A first string quartet is a landmark moment for any composer, but this one is particularly signicant. The ensemble of four stringed instruments is ideally suited to the disorienting labyrinthine structures, intricate repetitions, and extended durations that have characterised much of Harrison's recent work. Kate Molleson will talk to the composer before introducing the quartet.
