Had you ventured into the woods around Parkwood on Friday, you might have stumbled across a string quartet; not something you might expect, but this year’s student string quartet was involved in a photo-shoot ahead of an unusual performance next month.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Billhook Nook<\/strong><\/a> outdoor theatre space, part of the Creative Campus initiative, will play host to a performance of\u00a0Dvo\u0159\u00e1k’s\u00a0American<\/em> quartet, as the ensemble heads out into the summer sunshine (or so we hope, anyway…) Comprising third-year Law student and Music Scholar, Lydia Cheng<\/strong>, second-year Asian Studies & Classical and Archaeological Studies student, Alice Nixon<\/strong>, second-year Music Scholar reading Mathematics, Molly Richetta<\/strong> on viola, and final-year Law student, cellist\u00a0Alex Deacon-Viney<\/strong>, the ensemble plans to take\u00a0Dvo\u0159\u00e1k’s popular work out of the concert-hall and into somewhere you wouldn’t expect to hear it.<\/p>\n

\"\"Assuming the weather is as good (or even better) than it is at the moment, people are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy some fine weather and even finer music on Thursday 31 May<\/strong> at 1.10pm. During what is always a busy term, with students (and staff) working under the pressure of examinations, the chance to hear music in an informal and relaxed environment will hopefully offer a welcome respite from the term’s busy commitments.<\/p>\n
