About this concert

Whether moving audiences with white-hot performances, inspiring future generations of musicians or extending chamber music’s creative boundaries, the Cecilia String Quartet’s core values are focused by an abiding commitment to excellence and expressive communication.

The young Canadian ensemble, winner of the 2010 Banff International String Quartet Competition, makes its Wigmore Hall debut with two works certain to reveal the breadth of its musical and emotional understanding. Berg’s Lyric Suite contains the composer’s famous ‘secret programme’, encoding references to his love affair with Hanna Fuchs in its impassioned music.
