Beautiful music for strings in Flore

Flore Arts Events is now 10 years old. Since our inception we have hosted a range of musical events from early music to jazz - not to mention poetry evenings and silent movie nights. Since 2016 - and thanks entirely to our supporters’ generosity – we have been able to raise more than £34,000 for local good causes from our events.

Our next event features the Holtág String Quartet, Saturday June 6th, 7.30pm. All Saints Church, Flore. We will be hosting a talented group of musicians from Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London. ‘Cellist Morgan Key - born and raised locally – will be joined by violinists Virág Hévízi and Paris Rizas Pintzopoulos and viola player Ivan Illingworth. This recently formed prize-winning quartet has already given a string of successful concerts across England including a performance at the Wigmore Hall. In August last year they appeared on BBC Radio 3’s “In Tune”.

The quartet’s Flore programme will include Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Kodály’s String Quartet No. 2. The Ravel quartet has been called one of the most famous in the repertoire, with beautiful melodies and lively rhythms throughout. Kodály’s quartet combines Hungarian folk influences with subtle French impressionist tendencies. The programme will be completed by Webern’s lush and deeply romantic “Langsamer Satz” and the opening section from J S Bach’s “The Art of Fugue”.
