Arcus Quartet - The Northern Tour

The Arcus Quartet will be performing an exciting and emotionally gripping programme. Beginning with Haydn, String Quartet No 62 in C major, No 3 ‘Emperor’, Op 76 and Shostakovich String Quartet No 7 in F sharp minor, Op 108, written 'in memoriam' to his first wife Nina, who’s death deeply affected Shostakovich, reflected in the key of F sharp minor, traditionally associated with pain and suffering. The Quartet will then finish with wonderfully tense and passionate Mendelssohn String Quartet No 4 in E flat minor, Op 44 No 2.
