Jacob Suite for Eight Violas
The Philharmonia Chamber Players bring you a programme which places the viola firmly at the centre of attention, programmed by our Principal Viola player, Yukiko Ogura.
“Both these pieces, the Fantasy Quartet and the Suite for Eight Violas, showcase the amazing facility of these composers, and their profound understanding of the viola and its unique qualities. So often we’re hidden between the violins and the cellos, playing a humble role as “3rd fiddle”. Not so in this concert!”
