Described by The Strad as presenting “a masterclass in unanimity of musical
purpose, in which severity could melt seamlessly into charm, and drama into
geniality”, the award-winning Carducci Quartet is internationally acclaimed as
one of the most accomplished and versatile ensembles of today. Featuring two
Cork musicians, the Carducci Quartet is one of the longest established and
most admired string quartets on the world stage. They return for their latest
tour of Ireland with a beautiful programme including one of Shostakovich’s
finest string quartets, marking the 50th anniversary of his death in 1975.
