Royal String Quartet

Concert: In silence

The coherent and formally well put together programme of the concert presents an accessible and at the same time deeply spiritual face of classical music. It comprises pieces written in various styles and in various periods (from late Renaissance to works by still living composers), combining soothing sounds with sacred harmony.
