The Halcyon Quartet plays Beethoven & Haydn in a concert for Athenaeum Members on 1 October 2020 6pm

As sadly the coronavirus pandemic restrictions mean the Music Committee cannot hold this recital by the Halcyon Quartet for our Members in the Clubhouse as originally planned, the quartet has recorded the concert so Members can watch it here instead at 6pm on 1st October 2020. Members who view this concert are kindly asked to consider making a donation to the Athenaeum to help cover the fee paid to the artists, which of course we would normally recover in the charge for attending the event in person. Members can do this by contacting Christina in the office with a request to add an amount to their account or by sending in a cheque made out to the Athenaeum. Any donations are gratefully received. The quartet will perform: String Quartet in A Major Op.18 No.5 by Ludwig Beethoven (1770-1827) Allegro Menuetto Andante Cantabile Allegro String Quartet in G Major Op.76 No.1 by Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Allegro con spirito Andante sostenuto Menuet - Presto Finale - Allegro ma non troppo Members were sent in an email from Christina on 30th September at 4.11pm a programme compiled by the quartet with further information including notes on the music they will perform. The titles of the works and movements will also appear onscreen. You may need to raise the volume on your device to hear the quartet's spoken introduction at the start. The concert, which was filmed at the Musicians’ Chapel in Holy Sepulchre, London, will last about an hour.
