On 30 April we had the pleasure of hosting the Kleio Quartet for an intimate concert in our office in central London. Direct from their live recital on BBC Radio 3, they arrived at Kirker HQ for a magical performance including Schubert's Quartettzatz, Haydn's String Quartet in B flat, Op.76 No. 4 'Sunrise', and three movements from Britten's controversial Divertimenti, which stunned audiences in the 1930s.
We look forward to the Kleio Quartet joining us for The Kirker Music Festival in Madeira, a six night holiday which combines winter sunshine with private concerts and exotic gardens, staying at one of Europe’s most famous grand hotels, the elegant and historic Reid’s Palace.
