€17/€14



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. Haydn’s D major Quartet Op.20 No.4 is one of earliest of his many string quartet masterpieces. From the exploratory, expansive opening movement, through a poignant slow movement, a robust Minuet alla zingarese (gypsy-style) to the virtuosic finale, this extraordinary music is engaging and entertaining throughout. Donnacha Dennehy’s Stamp combines elements of related 14th century dances, the Italian Saltarello and the French Estampie, both of which feature complex, wrong-footing rhythms which Donnacha exploits with clear delight. Shostakovich’s wonderful ninth string quartet was written in 1964 and is full of vivid characterization, expression and contrast. The stark and cataclysmic vision of the fourth movement leads to an extraordinary finale concluding with a long, exhilarating and life-affirming build-up. In association with the National String Quartet Foundation. CARDUCCI QUARTETMatthew Denton, violin Michelle Fleming, violin Eoin Schmidt-Martin, viola Emma Denton, cello Programme Haydn String
