A VIVID MUSICAL PORTRAIT OF A TITAN OF SOVIET MUSIC Krysia Osostowicz violin Ian Belton violin Paul Cassidy viola Jacqueline Thomas cello With a legacy of outstanding recordings, exciting cross-genre collaborations and inspiring educational work, Brodsky Quartet have cemented their reputation as artistic trailblazers and performers of the highest quality. To celebrate a half-century of music making, the quartet return to WMC for a very special day exploring the life and works of one of their favourite composers, Dmitri Shostakovich. From towering musical statements to tender moments of deep introspection, these masterpieces shine a light on Shostakovich's true voice at times of personal tragedy and early 20th century political upheaval. Discover the stories behind the music with talks before each concert that will explore the Brodsky Quartet's relationship with these works, developed from when they recorded their first cycle in 1990.
