News from our partners Shropshire Music Trust

The inspirational Innovation Ensemble present Quintets at Dusk at The Lion Hotel, Shrewsbury on Sunday 19 January 2020 at 6pm.

Kate Hogwood, Director of Shropshire Music Trust, said:-

“Following several seasons of popular early winter evening concerts in the Ballroom of the Lion Hotel, the group returns to play two masterpieces from Vienna. Mozart’s D major Quintet K.593 represents the mature composer at the pinnacle of his creative powers and is famed for the zigzag chromatic descending theme of the last movement. Beethoven’s Op.29 Quintet is allegedly thought to have inspired Schubert to write his own string quintet in the same key.

“A group of chamber music colleagues and friends initially put together by the late Peter Cropper, they perform in his memory and with his unique style of music making. Introduced by the players –they are all established members of various well-known chamber groups, who enjoy the opportunity to present programmes they particularly love.”

Innovation Ensemble is made up of violinists Ben Nabarro, and Martin Cropper, Robin Ireland and Sara-Jane viola, and cellist Richard Jenkinson, with an attractive Viennese programme.
