Live, Love, Laugh: String Quartets by Holst, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn'

Celebrate Summer in Suffolk with an evening of music in one of the county’s most picturesque settings. Bring a picnic to have before or after in the church grounds. A bar will be open from 6pm and during the interval. Brother Tree Sound String Quartet, one of the country’s most innovative and exciting chamber groups, will play a programme of music called ‘Live, Love, Laugh’ featuring quartets by Imogen Holst, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and a surprise piece about Suffolk. You’ll have to come along to hear what that is! The Musicians Described as 'vivid and intense' (Arts Desk album review 2025) and playing with 'unfettered passion and a sense of forward momentum' (BBC Music Magazine 2025) Brother Tree Sound formed in 2017 out of a love for the powerful intimacy of the string quartet. The group’s members are deeply connected by a passion to explore the great canon of the string quartet repertoire whilst staying tuned to the continuous shifting landscape of today's classical music scene. With three albums generating over 10 million streams worldwide, a recent sold-out debut at Kings Place London, a grant from the Vaughan Williams Foundation, and with numerous performances in music clubs, on concert platforms, at music festivals, outdoor stages and folk music clubs, the group is blazing a trail, inspiring audiences through their projects and performances.
