Dante String Quartet - Launch of Shropshire Music Trust 2024-2025 Season

The launch of the Shropshire Music Trust 2024-2025 Season begins with a ravishing recital of string quartets by Joseph Haydn, Leo Janáček, Judith Weir and William Walton from one of the best String Quartets in the UK. The Dante Quartet, one of the UK's finest ensembles, is known for its imaginative programming and impassioned performances. The Quartet was founded in 1995 and chose its name to reflect the idea of an epic journey. The Quartet has been honoured with the Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Chamber Music and has also received international awards for its recordings. Frequently heard on Radio 3, the Quartet has appeared many times at London's Wigmore Hall and Kings Place, and at some of the UK's foremost festivals and music societies. Abroad, the Quartet has played in France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Switzerland, Finland, the Czech Republic, Poland and South Africa, and has twice toured Japan.
