The Henschel Quartet from Germany returns for its eleventh visit since first playing in Leamington in February 2000, the last time opening the 2018/19 Winter Season. For this concert, the Quartet sandwiches two works we know and love with a new one for many of us: the First Quartet of Freda Swain (written in 1924), whose oeuvre is currently being rediscovered and who should undoubtedly have been recognised as one of the most prominent composers of her time.
