The Old Library, with Reinoud Ford, one of the Bloomsbury Players

About

In the finale of our Spring Concert Series at the Old Library, Festival organiser Orlando Joplin has gathered some of his favourite musicians for a performance on gut strings of the great Schubert String Quintet in C major D956.

The Bloomsbury Players explore the romantic chamber repertoire on gut strings with a historically informed perspective. They consist of Sijie Chen and Will McGahon (violins), Hannah Shaw (viola) and Reinoud Ford and Orlando Jopling (cellos).
