The Tippett Quartet make a welcome return to Barber Concerts and are joined by acclaimed pianist Emma Abbate. The programme includes Elgar's Piano Quintet in A minor, Op. 84 - a work written ten years after the composer resigned from his role as Professor of Music at the University of Birmingham.

 We also hear Mendelssohn's 1829 Quartet in E-flat major, and Schumann's Op. 44 piano quintet, considered one of his finest compositions and a major work of nineteenth-century chamber music.
