The celebrated 2016 Royal Philharmonic Society Award winners bring quartet playing of the highest order as they return for our 70th anniversary concert.
We enjoyed a marvellous evening with this Quartet recently; you may recall the Shostakovich quartet and indeed their Royal Philharmonic Award was for their season long concerts of the entire Shostakovich 15.
I invited them to return as soon as possible, having been enthralled by their performance so we can look forward to a pair of concerts just a few months apart. Both concerts will feature Beethoven whose entire Quartet works are part of their work during 2017.

String quartets improve over time – they can develop over years or decades whereas this may be less significant with smaller ensembles.
The Carduccis have been together for a long time now and their reputation is considerable. I am confident that we shall have a concert to match the wonderful evening supplied by the Piatti Quartet last season.
