Haydn Quartet in G op. 77 no. 1 Ravel Quartet in F Brahms Quartet in A minor op. 51 no. 2

The Marmen Quartet is the current holder of Music in the Round’s prestigious ‘Bridge’ development award and has residencies with the Birmingham Conservatoire and the Salomon Smith Chamber Music Society in Malmö, Sweden. Ravel’s sumptuous Impressionistic quartet sits between two classical works, providing a fascinating insight into three centuries of music for this combination of instruments.

St Firmin’s stands beside the Roman Carr Dyke and its massive Saxon tower suggests that its original purpose was defensive as well as religious. The church is cruciform in shape and the magnificent Norman work inside includes doorways, arches and the font.
