About us

Divertimento String Quartet will be playing a very varied and interesting programme in Plymouth on Saturday 19th October at 7.30pm in Sherwell Methodist Church, North Hill.

Haydn's String Quartet op 50 no 6 in D is well=known for the use of bariolage in the last movement. What is bariolage?.......well suffice it to say it earned the quartet its nickname "The Frog".

String Quartet No. 2, also known by its other title "Company", is by American composer Philip Glass. This short minimalist composition was composed in 1983 in New York City. (Minimal music is a form of art music that employs limited or minimal musical materials. In the Western art music tradition, the American composers La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass are credited with being among the first to develop compositional techniques that exploit a minimal approach)

La Oración del Torero (The Bullfighter's Prayer) is a tone poem composed in 1925 by Joaquin Turina. It portrays the contrast between the hubbub of the bullfighting arena, the fiesta, and the devotion of the Toreadors praying to God for protection.

We are very grateful to the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust for sponsoring our performances of Vaughan Williams 1st string quartet. It forms the second half of our concert and is an exciting, individual work which is sometimes lively and robust with the inevitable folk-tune, and at other times contemplative and trance-like.
