Wre Salon Classical Traditions

In this concert WRE reverts to its core identity as a project-based chamber ensemble. In 2025, founder members David Milsom, Maria Nikolaeva, Charlotte Kenyon, and George Kennaway undertook a string quartet tour of works by Beethoven, Dvok, and Shostakovich; now they perform two more favourites of the repertoire: Schuberts Quartettsatz in C minor, andMendelssohns op. 12 string quartet.In the genial and conversationalMozart Clarinet Quintet they are joined by young clarinetist Sofia Nikolaeva in her chamber music debut with WRE. Look out for Sofia in further events in the 2026-2027 season as the ensemble focuses on mixed chamber music for strings and wind.Join us after this concert for a drinks and nibbles reception, where you can meet and chat to the musicians.In keeping with the raison d'tre of WRE, this concert gives a professional platform to emerging young musicians in an 'apprentice' model, and pays students a fair fee for their work.PROGRAMME
