Brahms with Berkshire Chamber Music Festival

• 12 June - St James the Less Pangbourne, Reading, RG8 7AS
• 13 June - St John's Church, Mortimer, RG7 3SY

Join violist James Flannery, clarinettist Poppy Beddoe and the Brompton Quartet for a rich and compelling evening of chamber music.

The programme centres on two late masterpieces by Johannes Brahms: the radiant String Quintet in G major, Op.111, bursting with warmth and symphonic breadth, and the deeply expressive Clarinet Quintet in B minor, one of Brahms’s most intimate and autumnal works.

Together, these works offer a journey through Brahms at his most lyrical and profound, brought to life by an exceptional ensemble in an evening of depth, colour, and musical conversation.
