The closing concert of AWE 2024 features the world premiere of Composer in Residence, Eve de Castro-Robinson’s Earth’s Eye. The programme takes inspiration from a famous connecting point for artists in 19th century Vienna - the Gasthaus Zum Roten Igel (The Red Hedgehog), celebrated with tasty morsels from the Gasthaus itself (included in ticket price).
This programme features the world premiere of AWE's Composer-in-Residence, Eve de Castro-Robinson's new piece for clarinet, violin, viola and celllo: Earth's Eye. We'll also hear one of the most beloved pieces of chamber music, Schubert's string quartet which was directly inspired by the folk music he heard at the gasthaus. This gasthaus was frequented too by the the third composer in this programme, Felix Mendelssohn.
