Fitzwilliam String Quartet: Alan Hacker - A Celebration
Start time: 8pm
A concert in the Quire of Winchester Cathedral, at 8pm on Sunday 30 September, will be celebrating the life of Alan Hacker and raising money for Jessie's Fund. Alan was a clarinettist and conductor with unusually wide-ranging enthusiasms. He would have been celebrating his 80th birthday on the day of the concert. Family, friends and colleagues have come together to offer this tribute through music that represents some of his significant repertoire. The clarinettists in this concert all studied with Alan and were enormously influenced by his searching approach to performance. His partnership with The Fitzwilliam Quartet began in 1974 and lasted for over 15 years, during which time they performed both the Mozart and Brahms quintets. Katy Hacker Hughes and Sophie Hacker, Alan's daughters, are participating in this concert as a tribute to their father.
