ALL the way from Italy, the Quartetto di Cremona play at Chipping Campden School Hall this month.

Considered to be one of the finest Italian string quartets, they have played in almost every major concert hall and will be making their debut in Campden on Tuesday, March 16.

Featuring Cristiano Gualco and Paolo Andreoli on violin, Simone Gramaglia on viola and Giovanni Scaglione on cello, the quartet will be joined for the second half of the concert by Simon Crawford-Phillips on piano.

The programme at Campden will include Schumann’s Quartet op. 41 no.1, Haydn’s Quartet op 54 no.2 and Brahms’ piano Quintet in F Minor op. 34.
