Brahms’s Clarinet Quintet was written for a virtuoso whom he teasingly described as his ‘Prima donna’. Its rich lyricism makes for a perfect pairing with Dvořák’s Sextet, which features several hat-tips to his good friend Brahms.

General sale for this concert will open at 10.00am on Tuesday 10 October

The regions of Bohemia and Moravia endured political, military and linguistic control by multiple nations and governments in the 19th and 20th centuries. ‘From My Homeland’ showcases some of the most vibrant, imaginative and unusual works written in the 1800s and 1900s, as well as music by Johannes Brahms – friend and champion of Antonín Dvořák.

The series (October 2023 to March 2024) also includes a day of concerts, films and talks dedicated to the victims of the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp between 1941-45.
