2 TICKETS FOR £14! Call our Box Office 01753 866 865 Bringing an unparalleled energy to the stage, they infuse Vienna's traditionally austere music with a new and vital heartbeat. They have become the new bastions of the city's excellent musical reputation, keeping its rich tradition alive in a refreshingly unconventional way. Adapting Mahavishnu Orchestra founder John McLaughlin's compositions, radio.string.quartet honours the spirit of the group, successfully reinventing it to become something challenging and unique. 'The quartet not only captures Mahavishnu Orchestra's dynamics, complexity and sometimes reckless fury, but its improvisational aspect as well. This is no polite string quartet; it's as much a take-no-prisoners ensemble as the group it references.'(www.allaboutjazz.com) 'The group quickly established how effectively Asja Valcic's cello could provide both a drumlike drive and a thumping bassline, while violinists Bernie Mallinger and Johannes Dickbauer and viola player Cynthia Liao soared over it." (Guardian) Winners of the German Record Critics’ Award, the sensational group are sell-out favourites of Jazz Festivals around the globe. We catch them between their shows in Paris and London, after which they headline at Henley Festival. 9pm. Tickets: £12 GA, £10 Concs, £9 Mem SPECIAL OFFER: 2 TICKETS FOR £14.
