Carducci String Quartet

St Michael’s Church,
Lower Machen
| Mozart | Clarinet Quintet in A, K.581 |
| Vaughan Williams | String Quartet No.2 |
| Brahms | Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op.115 |
Two great clarinet quintets in one programme. Mozart’s handful of masterpiece for the clarinet unlocked all its moods and humours for the first time. The Quintet, with its powerfully serene slow movement, is only matched by the Quintet by Brahms, a valedictory, autumnal work, written at the end of Brahms’ life. The Carducci String Quartet are recognised today as one of Europe's top young string quartets. Half Irish, half British, they have won prizes at no less than six International Chamber Music Competitions.
"…the Carducci String Quartet were stunning… they are clearly musicians of high intelligence." - The Times
