About this Event
Brodsky Quartet live in Parbold, Lancashire
The Brodsky Quartet was formed in 1972 by cellist Jacqueline Thomas and violinist Ian Belton when they were just 10 and 11 years old.
The group has since performed over 3000 concerts on the major stages of the world and released more than 60 recordings. A natural curiosity and insatiable desire to explore has propelled the players in many artistic directions, and continues to ensure them a place at the very forefront of the international chamber music scene.
The Quartet brings a programme featuring music by Stravinsky, alongside Shostakovich’s mighty String Quartet No.5 and also Beethoven’s String Quartet No.13, with its beautiful Cavatina movement. The evening will undoubtedly be greatly anticipated; the musicians have a remarkable reputation for their interpretations, particularly of the quartets of Beethoven and Shostakovich.
“… playing with a spirit so transformational you felt they were actually improving the world.” – The Strad
