"..the Carducci String Quartet were stunning...they are clearly musicians of high intelligence.." -The Times
The 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. Highly celebrated for their diverse approach to repertoire, the Carducci Quartet has devised numerous projects and is regularly invited to perform new works. Their catalogue of programmes presenting music and spoken word includes focuses on Beethoven, Shostakovich, and on the relationship between Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn. This season they will also focus on female composers, performing works by Caroline Shaw, Errollyn Wallen, Rebecca Clarke, Fanny Mendelssohn, and Amy Beach. Education work is an important element of the Carducci Quartet’s work, earning them a place on the Royal Philharmonic Society Award shortlist for their family concert "Getting the Quartet Bug!" The Carducci Music Trust was set up to support their work in schools and with young musicians. They also perform a number of school concerts each year supported by the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust.
