String quartet plays Milngavie

MILNGAVIE Music Club starts the new year with a programme of “richly romantic” music for strings.

Its concert at Cairns Church on January 11 features one of Britain’s finest quartets, the Navarra String Quartet, with a programme that includes two great classical masterpieces – Ravel’s Quartet in F Major and Schubert’s String Quartet No.14 in D Minor, known as Death And The Maiden.

The programme starts with music by Latvian composer Peteris Vasks that draws on folk music to evoke the atmosphere of a winter landscape.

Tickets from The Iron Chef, Milngavie (£13; students £5; school pupils free) and at the door on the night (cash or cheque only). Telephone enquiries 0141942 3102.
