In a recital from St Mary's Church at Hay-on-Wye, the Doric String Quartet perform two contrasting works including the bright and cheerful String Quartet opus 64 no.1 in C major by Joseph Haydn, which he began in his final few months employed at Eszterháza Castle. The final work is the second String Quartet by Benjamin Britten, composed as a contribution to the celebrations marking the 250th Anniversary of the death of Henry Purcell.
