Overview

Members of the Belcea Quartet bring together Laura Samuel's musical friends in a special concert to pay tribute to the celebrated violinist, who passed away in November 2024.

Laura was a founding member of the Belcea Quartet until 2010, and Leader of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra from 2012 to 2024. She is dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
