Sacconi Quartet and Jon Boden present: The Juliet Letters

The acclaimed Sacconi Quartet join singer-songwriter Jon Boden (ex-lead singer of turbo folk heroes Bellowhead) to reprise Elvis Costello's rich, beautiful and genre-blurring album, The Juliet Letters, originally recorded with The Brodsky Quartet, and based on a series of imaginary letters being sent to Shakespeare's fated lover, Juliet Capulet.

The Sacconi Quartet also perform Steve Reich's eclectic Different Trains for string quartet and tape - the piece in which Reich developed his earlier use of recorded speech into a dramatic new musical approach. This profound piece examines the experience of war from different perspectives, inspired by train journeys Reich had made as a child.
