The acclaimed Carducci Quartet opens our autumn season with Shostakovich’s short, charming and brilliant first quartet. Donnacha Dennehy’s finely crafted tale of nostalgia, Pushpulling, is followed by the Irish premiere performances of Peter Gregson’s beautiful and evocative Three Parallels, recently recorded by the Carducci for Deutsche Gramophon. Beethoven’s great second Rasoumovsky quartet rounds off a stunning programme.
