Performance details
As Europe’s second largest city at the end of the 18th century, Paris was a vibrant intersection of political, cultural and musical ideas. Wolfgang Mozart, Joseph Bologne (aka Chevalier de Saint-Georges) and Hyacinthe Jadin all spent time or lived in the French capital between 1776 and 1800. The Eybler Quartet explores the musical interconnections of these three fascinating composers, offering one of Mozart’s least-often performed quartets, a newly rediscovered work by Bologne and an extremely rare opportunity to hear the glorious and dramatic music of Jadin.

Jazz standards often focus on love’s feelings - sometimes playfully, as in The Best Thing For You: “I only want what’s the best thing for you, and the best thing for you would be me.” But the highest form of love goes beyond feelings; it’s selfless and sacrificial - what the Ancient Greeks called agape. We’ve found this love is also key to making meaningful music with others. Join us for a journey through some of our favourite chamber music and jazz standards! LIVE & VIRTUAL
