Stanford, Brahms and Fauré | Wye Valley Chamber Music Festival #6

Our festival ends with a programme that focuses on the influential pianist and conductor Hans von Bülow, through works dedicated to him by composers writing in hugely varying musical languages. Von Bülow’s association with Brahms is well known, but it is telling that Gabriel Fauré also dedicated a chamber masterpiece to him – the ravishing and turbulent G minor Piano Quartet. The chamber music of Stanford is enjoying a resurgence, representing a British romantic tradition that owed a lot to Brahms.

Wye Valley Chamber Music Festival’s 2024 programme celebrates musical friendships, inspirations and dedications. There are six events being presented across Hellens Manor, Monmouth and the surrounding area. Join us in a programme of wonderful, varied masterpieces spanning two centuries.
