Owen Murray and the Smith Quartet in Concert, London - UKby Rob Howard |
 Owen Murray performs a program that includes ‘Serenade on the Shores of the Cosmic Ocean’, with the Smith Quartet, at the Wigmore Hall, London, on January 5th, 7.30 pm. This is the concert that should have taken place last year but was cancelled due to ill-health, so it is good to see Owen Murray back on the concert stage, where his program also includes works by Gubaidulina, Schnittke and Abrahamsen.
