Only 2 weeks until we present our second concert, at the Friends’ Meeting House in St Austell.

In that concert you can hear the Aquilae Quartet perform Dvorak’s American Quartet, one of his most beloved works.

Dvorak wrote the piece whilst in America, and the influence of Native American and Spirituals is evident. It was completed in a record two weeks and was the second work he completed there.

Join us on 30th August to experience this and more! Tickets and more details are available on our website.
