The Seta Sextet is formed of students from both sides of the Atlantic, all of whom are completing postgraduate degrees at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In the United Kingdom, members of Seta Sextet have played under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle, Marin Allsop, and Valery Gergiev, and have given performances at Barbican Hall, Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Royal Festival Hall. Elsewhere in the world, the members of Seta Sextet have performed in Canada, the United States, Germany, Italy, Israel, the Carribean and China. Seta Sextet came together because of the enthusiasm of Lyrit Milgram for the piece Verklarte Nacht. The piece's harmonies and textures are so unique, and incredibly beautiful. There is really nothing like it in the chamber music repertoire. We all love playing it. Seta Sextet is performing Verklarte Nachte this summer at St. Mary's Perivale, St. Stephen Walbrook, and Guildhall School of Music.
