The Big House Arts Festival presents Solem Quartet

Praised for their “immaculate precision and spirit” (The Strad) and “cultured tone” (The Arts Desk), the Solem Quartet has established itself as one of the most innovative and adventurous quartets of its generation. We are delighted to welcome them to close the festival, where they will present a programme including Antonín Dvořák’s String Quartet No. 13 in G major, Op. 106.

Set within the historic beauty of Lincoln Cathedral's 13th‑century Chapter House, this concert invites audiences to hear familiar works anew and discover the vibrant possibilities of the modern string quartet.

The Big House Arts Festival is a multi-arts festival bringing classical chamber music, jazz, visual art and educational events to Lincoln Cathedral.

Launching in 2026 in the Cathedral’s Chapter House, the festival brings together leading musicians and artists for a carefully curated programme of concerts, exhibitions and masterclasses set within one of England’s most remarkable buildings.
