Led by violinist Roman Filipov with Sidonie Bougamont, Elçim Özdemir, Frédéric Kirch and Lionel Cottet, this chamber programme pairs Mozart’s intense String Quintet No. 3 in G minor, KV 516, with Brahms’s luminous String Quintet No. 2 for two violas in G major, Op. 111. The ensemble explores the contrast between Mozart’s dramatic intimacy and Brahms’s rich romantic textures, highlighting refined phrasing, close ensemble dialogue and expressive dynamics for a concentrated, immersive experience.
Part of Recluses Fest #10, this evening brings a rare tribute to Parabellum alongside performances by Ring of Cash and Vikie.
