Elisabeth Hetherington & ADAM Quartet

Soprano Elisabeth Hetherington and the ADAM Quartet explore the intersections between voice and strings. Hetherington’s expressive delivery and versatility blend seamlessly with the detailed and inventive playing of the ADAM Quartet. In a programme that stretches the boundaries between vocal and instrumental music, they show how voice and strings can strengthen, challenge, and elevate one another.
