Carducci Quartet - CMS

The acclaimed Cheltenham-based Carducci Quartet open the season with a programme of three completely different sound worlds.

They start the concert with Mozart’s ‘Hunt’ quartet which we have not had for many years. They follow with the emotional roller-coaster of the youthful quartet by Ravel.

The Carducci are renowned for their interpretation of the Shostakovich quartets, and the evening ends with his infrequently played second quartet, the weighty beginning of his mature quartet sequence.
