Shostakovich Quartet Cycle

Bantry House And Gardens, Bantry, Co. Cork

Sat 25 Oct 2025
8pm
€10 - €45


Join West Cork Music for a celebration of the music of Dmitri Shostakovich, one of the great composers of the Twentieth Century, over a weekend of music at Bantry House.


Shostakovich, one of the great composers of the Twentieth Century, whose music trod the dangerous tightrope between the revelation of truth and terror at the consequences.

His cycle of fifteen overwhelming quartets contain the intimate thoughts of a composer, who lived through one of the most oppressive dictatorships of the Twentieth Century. That time has come round again and, worldwide, art and power collide. The Carducci Quartet will play the complete cycle in Bantry House on the October Bank Holiday weekend, 24-26 October.

There will be five concerts amounting to just over six hours of music in an inimitable West Cork setting.
