Trinity Laban String Ensemble featuring the Holtág Quartet: Lunchtime Concert

Trinity Laban takes centre stage at the Queen’s House, Royal Museums Greenwich for a concert featuring the Trinity Laban String Ensemble and the Holtag Quartet. Conducted by Nic Pendlebury, repertoire will include an exciting mix of student commissions as well as a performance of Vaughan Williams Fantasia.

Two of the most significant and well-loved works for string orchestra written by British composers in the 20th century provide the core of the Trinity Laban Conservatoire’s premier string ensemble’s programme. Both Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro and Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia contain prominent roles for a string quartet, here taken by the Conservatoire’s outstanding postgraduate quartet, the Holtág String Quartet. Complimenting these iconic masterpieces the Ensemble plays a new work by Trinity Laban student Nisa Akday, commissioned specially for the Ensemble.

Repertoire:

VAUGHAN WILLIAMS Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis

ANNA CLYNE Stride

NISA AKDAG Prejudice (TL Student Commission)

ELGAR Introduction and Allegro for Strings, op. 47
