The Doric Quartet spans the emotional spectrum in idyllic Bradfield

The temporary loss of their first violin holds no fears for the Doric Quartet in this richly satisfying concert of playful Haydn and driven Beethoven at the Bradfield Festival.

Ibragimova, Tiberghien and the Doric Quartet offer Gallic delights

Perfect Haydn, Dean and Dvořák from the Doric String Quartet at the Dresden Music Festival

Max Woods, 31st May

The Palais im Großen Garten in Dresden is an interesting place to perform classical music. It’s completely unlike any other concert venue, with its wholly dilapidated interior projecting an image of lost grandeur. In many ways this is perfect for a classical music concert, especially chamber music.
