About This Event

Celebrated British clarinettist Michael Collins is joined by cellist Adrian Brendel and pianist Michael McHale to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Austrian composer Alexander von Zemlinsky. Charged with fin de si猫cle intensity and taut musical drama, the young Zemlinsky鈥檚 Clarinet Trio was much influenced by Brahms, at whose recommendation it was
published. A contemporary said of Brahms鈥檚 own Trio in A minor that 鈥榠t is as though the instruments are in love with each other鈥�. With its graceful waltz of an intermezzo and dashing finale with hints of Gypsy swagger, it鈥檚 a musical love affair played out in glorious technicolour.

There will be no interval
