BBC Proms Chamber Music Concert Debussy's early quartet already reaches into the future with its sensual colour and improvisatory tone. The fourth of Hugh Wood's five works in the form is a masterly four-movement piece: music of passion and closely wrought integrity, it was recently selected for Encore - a scheme run by the Royal Philharmonic Society and BBC Radio 3 designed to give repeat performances and broadcasts of works by living British composers. The Escher Quartet is a current member of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme. There will be no interval. Finish time approx. 14:00
