The Fitzwilliam String Quartet

Sun 30 Mar View Venues, Dates & Times

The Fitzwilliam String Quartet is an ensemble with a long and illustrious history. Founded in 1968 by four Cambridge undergraduates, the quartet were befriended by Dmitri Shostakovich, who entrusted them with the Western premières of his last three quartets. The ensemble then became the first group to perform and record all 15. 

Inevitably, the quartet’s line-up has changed numerous times across the years, but the commitment to high-quality work remains very much intact. 

This latest concert presents a fascinating programme of music that features work by Percy Grainger, Franz Schubert, and the Malvern Hills-based Liz Dilnot Johnson.
