Distilled: Schubert's String Quintet

Sunday 1 November 2026

Chamber music

Book Now

The String Quintet in C major was the last piece Schubert completed. Though it remained unpublished for some 30 years, it has gradually gained recognition as a masterpiece among chamber music. The music is a rich tapestry of beauty and darkness, balancing unsettling drama with sublime euphoria.
