Take Four Piano Quartet

WITH Zanta Hofmeyr (violin), Jeanne-Louise Moolman (viola), Susan Mouton (cello) and Elna van der Merwe (piano)

The Take Four Piano Quartet takes the audience on a sublime journey through some of the most beloved works in the chamber music repertoire. These four remarkable women, long-time friends and virtuoso performers, come together in August to celebrate Women’s Month. The programme features Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 2 in A major, Op. 26, a work of sweeping lyricism, warmth and vitality, alongside Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 47, celebrated for its poetic beauty and rich interplay between instruments. This moving recital is a celebration of artistry, friendship, connection and the enduring power of chamber music. The recital is followed by a free music discussion with the artists upstairs in the Banqueting Hall.

MET Zanta Hofmeyr (viool), Jeanne-Louise Moolman (altviool), Susan Mouton (tjello) en Elna van der Merwe (klavier)
