Doric String Quartet
Wigmore Hall, W1U 2BP , [Venue Details]An ensemble that has enjoyed success over a wide repertoire since its foundation in 1998 shares its name, as The Arts Desk has explained, ‘with the plainest of ancient Greek columns, but the colourful approach relates more closely to the elaborate Corinthian style.
Britten’s Second String Quartet was first performed at Wigmore Hall in 1945 to mark the 250th anniversary of Henry Purcell’s death. The Doric String Quartet recalls the work’s historic première, at which Britten’s composition shared the bill with Fantasias by Purcell. ‘Henry Purcell was the last important international figure of English music,’ observed Britten at the time, to which many added that he was the next.
