March Sunday Coffee Concert

About the show

Welcome to the 2026 season of Sunday Coffee Concerts at Spring Bank Arts. We're delighted to welcome back many familiar faces and bring you a varied repertoire of concerts including some lesser-known works by English and Czech composers alongside the great Romantic composers Brahms and Dvorák.

First up on March 8th is a wonderful programme of works for string ensemble. Vaughan Williams wrote his Phantasy Quintet in 1912 for a composition award. It highlights his love of both Renaissance English music and folk music. Coupled with this piece is the great string sextet opus 36 by Brahms - a work full of longing, melancholy and joy in which he enshrines the name of one of his great loves, Agathe, in musical notation.
