The Monastery Series | String Quartet: Death & The Maiden

Manchester Camerata orchestra are hosting a series of lunchtime concerts here at their home, The Monastery in Gorton, supported by their good friends at Classic FM. These intimate performances allow our community to experience incredible music in a relaxed, inspiring, and historic setting.

This lunchtime concert is performed by the Camerata’s string principals and programmed by Will Newell, Principal 2nd Violin. They will be performing Death & the Maiden, composed in 1824, after Schubert suffered a serious illness and realised he was gravely ill. This piece has been named “one of the pillars of the chamber music repertoire“.
