Jersey Arts Centre
Details
The Doric String Quartet brings an elegance and intimacy to both the classical canon and new music, with the depth and integrity of their interpretations winning them fans across the world. Having performed cycles of Haydn, Mendelssohn, Britten and Bartok at famous international venues, they now turn their attention to Beethoven, continuing their recording project for Chandos, with the first installment released in 2023 and being praised by The Times as “ a joy “. The series will culminate in 2026-27 with the 200th anniversary of the composer’s death. The Doric String Quartet’s curiosity and flexibility are represented by a discography of more than 20 recordings for Chandos, with whom they have recorded exclusively since 2010, ranging from Purcell to John Adams. They are regular visitors at Snape Maltings and London’s Wigmore Hall, where they were the first group to perform to a live audience after lockdown. Programme includes: Britten: 3 Divertimenti for String Quartet Berg: Lyric Suite Haydn: String Quartet Op.50 No.4
