About the event

Join us at the Weston Library for a free pop-up concert from the Oxford Chamber Music Festival's Next Generation Artists initiative – giving a platform to rising stars among British chamber groups.

The Kleio Quartet is the winner of the 2023 Carl Nielsen International Chamber Music competition, and a BBC New Generation Artist. Their programme embraces Elgar‘s single, elegiac 'String Quartet', the tiny, exquisite 'Five Movements' by Webern, and Haydn‘s joyful ‘Frog’ quartet.

This festival fringe event is part of the Oxford Chamber Music Festival, which every year brings together some of the most exciting classical musicians in Europe to live and play together for a week amongst the dreaming spires.

Programme

Elgar String Quartet in E Minor | Webern Five Movements | Haydn String Quartet in D, op50/6 ‘The Frog’

“World-class” – Time Out

With this year’s special 25th anniversary festival from 22–27 September, we evoke a musical Eden in an increasingly troubled world. Artists include the Belcea Quartet, Hugo Ticciati & O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra, Reto Bieri, Julius Drake, Alena Baeva, Luciana Mancini and rising stars the Kleio Quartet, amongst others. For all events between 22 – 27 September, £5 and £10 tickets are available for 18–25-year-olds. We host a family afternoon concert on Saturday 27 September at 1pm entitled 'Innocence', with works including Saint-Saëns 'Carnival of the Animals' and Vivaldi's 'Spring' from the Four Seasons.
