Opening Concert – SIMFestival 2022
The first of SIMFestival’s seven 2022 concerts sets the tone perfectly for the next four days of glorious chamber music.
Late Night Schoenberg – SIMFestival 2022
The second of SIMFestival’s seven 2022 concerts is one not to be missed. Often considered Schoenberg’ s most celebrated work, ‘Verklarte Nacht’ was composed in 1899 when he was just 25, the same age as many of the performers in this concert!
Beethoven, Schubert & Arensky – SIMFestival 2022
Schubert’s unfinished trio composition is rounded out in this evening concert by Arensky’s Second String Quartet, probably his best-known work and a musical tribute to Tchaikovsky, and Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No.9 in A Major.
Late Night Schubert – SIMFestival 2022
Back by popular demand, SIMFestival’s ‘Late Night Schubert’ concert has sold out each year, so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment. This year, our festival musicians bring you Schubert’s fifteenth and final quartet.
Beethoven Septet – SIMFestival 2022
The fifth concert of SIMFestival 2022 promises to be a joyous occasion. With its mixture of grandeur and intimacy and virtuosity the Eb Major Septet became Beethoven’s most popular work during his lifetime.
Trio Kurtág Coffee Concert – SIMFestival 2022
SIMFestival’s Sunday morning concert is once again featuring a young and upcoming ensemble. This year we are delighted to be presenting Trio Kurtág, a new string trio founded in 2021 by Eliza Millett, Yume Fujise and Juliette Roos.
The Festival Finale – SIMFestival 2022
SIMFestival 2022 comes to an exciting close in this Finale Concert with works by Mozart, Zemlinsky and Mendelssohn.
