Peasmarsh Chamber Music Festival : 4 Coffee Concert

Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, the much loved and internationally renowned Peasmarsh Chamber Music Festival returns this summer, treating audiences to a magical long weekend of concerts by world class artists, performed in beautiful historic churches and including masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire both new and old.

Mozart’s charming D major String Quartet, written in 1789, was dedicated to Friedrich Wilhelm II, King of Prussia, and is a well loved pillar of the quartet canon. Written in 1909, and comprising five very short but intense movements, Webern’s ‘5 Satze’ see the composer breaking new ground. By contrast, Schubert’s four impromptus (the first four of eight that he composed) showcase the composer’s lyrical Romantic style and are considered by many to be some of the finest examples of the genre.
