Quartet latest to play city series

Chiaroscuro Quartet are the latest guests in the Chichester Chamber Concerts series with a date on February 24 at 7.30pm in The Assembly Room in North Street.

The quartet are Alina Ibragimova, violin; Pablo Hernán Benedi, violin; Emilie Hörnlund, viola; and Claire Thirion, cello. Their programme will be: Purcell – A selection of Fantasias; Haydn – String Quartet Op 33 No 5; and Beethoven – String Quartet Op 59 No 3.

Alina said: “The quartet formed at Royal College of Music in London in 2005. In 2006 it was 250 years since the birth of Mozart and the early music department at college wanted to have a group perform a Mozart string quartet. When the project was over, we all liked each other so much that we decided to continue as a quartet. The plan was simply to keep playing. We feel very lucky to be able to work together and perform. We are now enjoying a career doing what we love the most. We travel all over the world, playing in festivals, venues of all kinds, large and small.”
