Described by 'The Strad' as presenting “a masterclass in unanimity of musical purpose, in which severity could melt seamlessly into charm, and drama into geniality”, the award-winning Carducci Quartet is internationally acclaimed as one of the most accomplished and versatile ensembles of today.

Their 2016 project Shostakovich 15, which saw an immense cycle of Shostakovich’s Quartets performed across the UK, North and South America, won them a Royal Philharmonic Society Award.
