Ensemble Eroica Presents

This concert is the first in Ensemble Eroica’s series, promoting London’s best young chamber groups and individual artists. All members of the scheme are regular performers withEnsemble Eroica. Having been praised for their “great control and dynamic subtlety” by The Strad, the Artesian Quartet have appeared at the BBC Proms, Wigmore Hall and the Purcell Room. Since their formation in 2009 they have forged a reputation as one of the UK’s leading young string groups. In their Handel & Hendrix debut the quartet present a programme of familiarity and high energy. Haydn’s String Quartet in G, Op. 76 No. 1 is a work of witty deviation from the established forms of the time, employing engaging dialogue which flits between the four parts. Handel was an absolutely must for a debut programme, and highlights were chosen to represent his wonderful Water Music. Programme George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) Extracts from the Handel’s Water Music Air, Bouree & Hornpipe from Suite no 1 in f major Menuet & Rigaudon from Suite no 3 in g major Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Haydn String Quartet in g major, Op.76 no 1 Allegro con spirit, Adagio sostenuto, Menuetto – Presto, Allegro ma non troppo
