As one of the best oboists in the world, Diana Doherty does more than merely play her instrument; she makes it dance. With the dynamic St Lawrence String Quartet as her partner, Doherty almost turns the concert hall stage into a dance floor as she moves seamlessly through works as disparate as Hindson and Mozart. Not to be outdone, the St Lawrence String Quartet is energetic and exciting to watch in its own right, with brilliant displays of Haydn, Beethoven and Dvorak. These five outstanding performers will give you the sneaking suspicion that inside every musician is the heart of a dancer.
