Edinburgh Quartet's Rush Hour Concert: Shostakovich, Schnittke, Blumenfeld

Alan Coady, 12th December

Edinburgh’s 1869 church of St George’s West is a fine example of the prolific output of local architect David Bryce (1803–76). On this particularly chilly evening (inside and out), it hosted an Edinburgh Quartet “Rush Hour Concert” which featured an interesting take on format and programming.
