SUMMARY:WRE SALON | CLASSICAL TRADITIONS - West Riding Ensemble Quartet with Sofia Nikolaeva
DESCRIPTION:In this concert WRE reverts to its core identity as a project-based chamber ensemble. In 2025\, West Riding Ensemble founder members David Milsom\, Maria Nikolaeva\, Charlotte Kenyon\, and George Kennaway undertook a string quartet tour of works by Beethoven\, Dvořák\, and Shostakovich; now they perform two more favourites of the repertoire: Schubert’s Quartettsatz in C minor\, and Mendelssohn’s op. 12 string quartet. \nIn the genial and conversational Mozart Clarinet Quintet they are joined by young clarinetist Sofia Nikolaeva in her chamber music debut with WRE. Look out for Sofia in further events in the 2026-2027 season as the ensemble focuses on mixed chamber music for strings and wind. \nJoin us after this concert for a drinks and nibbles reception\, where you can meet and chat to the musicians. \nIn keeping with the raison d’être of WRE\, this concert gives a professional platform to emerging young musicians in an ‘apprentice’ model\, and pays students a fair fee for their work. \nPROGRAMME\nSCHUBERT: Quartettsatz in C minor\, D 703 (1820)\nMENDELSSOHN: String Quartet in E flat\, op. 12 (1829)\nMOZART: Clarinet Quintet in A\, K 581 (1789) \nPERFORMERS\nSofia Nikolaeva | clarinet\nWRE Quartet | David Milsom & Maria Nikolaeva\, violin; Charlotte Kenyon\, viola; George Kennaway\, cello

SUMMARY:West Riding Ensemble – String Quartets
DESCRIPTION:The West Riding Ensemble brings three iconic chamber works to life in this concert of string quartets. \nThe key of C minor links two of the works\, Beethoven employing it in typically stormy heroism in the fourth of his opus 18 quartets\, whilst Shostakovich’s ‘Dresden’ quartet (no 8) – often thought to be autobiographical – perhaps embodies more of the tragic than the heroic. Dvořák’s ‘American’ quartet brings a lighter mood\, reflecting the freedom the composer felt when visiting a Czech community in Iowa. All three works draw on ‘folk’ or indigenous tunes and influences. \nPROGRAMME\nBEETHOVEN: quartet in C minor\, op.18 no 4\nSHOSTAKOVICH: quartet no 8 in C minor\, op.110\nDVORAK: quartet no 12 in F major\, op. 96 ‘American’ \nPERFORMERS\nMaria Nikolaeva & David Milsom: violin\nCharlotte Kenyon: viola\nGeorge Kennaway: cello
