On Sunday 28 September 2025, the Sacconi Quartet will be joined by clarinettist David Campbell at the Conway Hall’s Sunday Concert at 6.30pm with a programme including the world premiere of Jago Thornton’s Study in Submersion, Shostakovich’s Quartet No.8 Op.110 and Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet.

Before the concert I will be giving a pre-concert talk about Coleridge-Taylor, exploring his background and focusing both on the early Clarinet Quintet and his defining trio of Hiawatha cantatas.
