SCHUBERT UNWRAPPED
An Immersive Experience
Up Close and Personal
Dear Friends
If you’ve not experienced The Villiers before, this is your moment. This isn’t a formal ‘sit back and behave’ classical concert. It’s close, relaxed, and completely immersive.
There’s no platform. No ‘them and us’. With a glass of wine in your hand, you’ll be joined by four superb musicians — right alongside the audience — playing from different parts of the room as they unpack Schubert’s final completed quartet, D 887 in G major.
Think of it as a musical conversation. They’ll share what they love most: the daring shifts, the tricky corners, the dramatic contrasts, and those glorious, searching harmonies. They’ll also explore how Schuberts admiration of Beethoven is woven throughout — and how, beneath the beauty, the music carries a powerful sense of struggle and mortality.
After the interval, the quartet will gather in the centre of the room and perform the complete work, with the audience all around them. Hearing it like this — close enough to feel the sound — is genuinely unforgettable.
It’s an extraordinary way to encounter this music: close-up, immediate, alive. If you were here for The Villiers’ last concert, you’ll know just how special these evenings are.
The Villiers will be joined by guest ’cellist Toby White.
I’d love to see you there.
Warmly,
Jennie
