THE Brodsky Quartet, which, since its formation in 1972 has performed over 2000 concerts on the major stages of the world and released more than 50 recordings, will be at Ludlow Assembly Rooms next month.
A natural curiosity and an insatiable desire to explore has propelled the group in a number of artistic directions and continues to ensure them not only a prominent presence on the international chamber music scene, but also a rich and varied musical existence. Their energy and craftsmanship has attracted numerous awards and accolades worldwide, while ongoing educational work provides a vehicle for passing on experience and staying in touch with the next generation.
Over the years the Brodsky Quartet has undertaken numerous performances of the complete cycles of quartets by Schubert, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Britten, Schoenberg, Zemlinsky, Webern and Bartok. It is, however, the complete Shostakovich cycle that has now become synonymous with their name.
The evening’s programme includes Borodin: Scherzo in D major from Les Vendredis; Shostakovich: Quartet No. 5 in B flat Major, Op. 92
and Beethoven: String quartet No.13 in B flat major, Op.130
The Brodsky Quartet will be at Ludlow Assembly Rooms on Thurdsday, December 3 at 8pm. To book, call the box office on 01584 878141 or visit ludlowassemblyrooms.co.uk
