Elvet Methodist Church, 8 Old Elvet, Durham, DH1 3HL
An evening of lyrical intimacy, full of infinite refinement, brought to you by two major composers to come out of Catalonia. Frederic Mompou has long been a well kept secret.

For their final visit of the season, RNS bring two Viennese Classical masterworks to Durham. Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of our Saviour on the Cross, heard tonight in its well-known arrangement for string quartet, moves with reflective grace: a series of slow, searching movements inspired by the final phrases spoken by Jesus Christ on the cross.
