Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
The Carducci Quartet have been described by The Guardian as having “…high-octane playing, balanced control with devil-may-care spontaneity…”. They won a Royal Philharmonic Society award in 2016 for their performance of their project, Shostakovich15, an immense cycle of Shostakovich’s Quartets which they subsequently recorded.
Marking the 50th anniversary year since Shostakovich’s death they perform his second string quartet, a piece that has many allusions to Russian folk music. Their programme also includes a piece by the contemporary Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer Caroline Shaw. The concert opens with Schubert’s lyrical String Quartet No 2.
