Conflict - Shostakovich String Quartets
Shostakovich’s String Quartet No.8 and Quartet No.3. are deeply expressive, raw and emotional. Both quartets are rich with evocation and allusion – to Shostakovich’s own work, to the sounds of battle, and with his response in the aftermath of war.

Revolution - Shostakovich String Quartets
Ensemble 360 performs two of Shostakovich’s late string quartets in this, the second concert of Music in the Round’s Shostakovich Weekend. Music of extremes, these quirky quartets are at times exuberant, at others sombre, and often capricious, playful and energetic.
