In this continuation concert to the Villiers Quartet’s memorable Late Schubert series started last year, the great Austrian composer’s well-loved ‘Rosamunde’ quartet forms the backdrop to two new contemporary classical works – Caroline Shaw’s ‘Valencia’ and ‘Forest Edge’, a new piano quintet composed by St Hilda’s College’s exceptionally talented third year undergraduate student, Alexander McNamee.
