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. Not only mastering the core repertoire, the quartet presents a selection of new works each season and diversifies further with programmes of film music, pop and rock.
"
a performance of supreme clarity, focus and precision" (Gramophone Magazine)
The Anglo-Irish Carducci are acclaimed as one of today’s most exciting and successful string quartets, performing over 90 concerts worldwide each year. For this special concert – a first performance presented by Wye valley Music in Ross-on-Wye - they have included a delightful piece by composer Hubert Parry who grew up at Highnam, just west of Gloucester, where the quartet host their own festival annually.
