About this concert
Benjamin Britten provides the lynchpin in this programme, connecting his love for Schumann and Mozart with his concern to encourage young composers. Britten’s Temporal Variations was first performed at Wigmore Hall in December 1936; Phantasy Quartet, meanwhile, dates from his earlier years as a student at the Royal College of Music. Helen Grime, who studied oboe at the RCM, offers her contemporary perspective on the instrument. ‘Although I rarely play anymore,’ she observes, ‘I have retained a strong bond with the instrument.’
