Mozart Clarinet Quintet

This is a rare opportunity to hear the basset horn and bass clarinet in the unrivalled hands of Craig Hill who has devoted himself to performance on period clarinets for over 30 years, joined by the MBO Classical Quartet  (Cameron Jamieson, Meg Cohen, Caroline Henbest, Rosanne Hunt) which delights in presenting lesser-known yet excellent works for string quartet alongside those of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
