Discover the breadth of chamber music for strings in this concert given by the Trinity Laban String Ensemble and the Holtág Quartet.
Highlights include a performance of Vaughan-Williams's haunting Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis and Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro. The evening will also feature a selection of contemporary works, from Anna Clyne's Stride – inspired by Beethoven's Sonata Pathétique – to a new work by Trinity student Nisa Akdag.
This concert is part of a series of evening performances at the Queen's House, organised in partnership with the Faculty of Music at Trinity Laban and generously supported by The Rainbow Dickinson Trust. We are delighted to collaborate with Trinity Laban and contribute to the personal and professional development of the students.
Tickets include a welcome drink, and a bar will be available in the Undercroft.

With grateful thanks
Evening performances at the Queen's House by Trinity Laban are kindly supported by The Rainbow Dickinson Trust.
The Rainbow Dickinson Trust was established in the late 1990s by Dr Bernarr Rainbow, the leading authority on music education, and Professor Peter Dickinson, the composer, pianist, author and academic. The aim of the Trust is to advance and promote education in music.
Under Peter Dickinson’s leadership, the Trust has sponsored publications and lectures, and made hundreds of grants to musical endeavours, particularly those for young performers and audiences. Today the Trust continues to support a wide range of music education work, in line with the interests and achievements of its founders.
Both founders of the Trust had strong connections with Trinity Laban (formerly Trinity College of Music) and took a close interest in its work.
