Schubert ‘Cello’ Quintet New Auditorium, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall Sun 18 May 2025: 2.30pm Franz Schubert certainly knew how to write a tune, but even by his standards the C Major String Quintet is something special. There’s a reason why this piece is a regular choice on Desert Island Discs: it traces the composer’s journey from blackest despair to radiant happiness, and at its heart is one of the most sublimely beautiful slow movements in all music. Our five RSNO musicians will make this a truly memorable event.
