Allow yourself to be swept away by these masterful works,  each one embodying tenderness, tempestuous emotion, yearning love, fun and joy in equal measure.

The AHE commence their 2025 season with two wonderful quartets by Haydn (the master) and Beethoven (the pupil) that morph effortlessly from the lofty to the lowbrow. Then Fanny Mendelssohn’s quartet, apparently the first ever composed by a woman, offers an elegant, if far from ladylike, comeback.
