Gildas Quartet @Beaminster Festival

The Gildas Quartet, praised for their energy, verve and refreshing approach have performed to critical acclaim at major venues including the Bridgewater Hall, Purcell Room, Wigmore Hall and live on BBC Radio 3. Their bold and explorative approach to performance has been recognised by the International Franz Schubert and Modern Music Competition, Graz, where they won first prize in the Audience Engagement Award 2018.

Following the invigorating Strum and the universally beloved Rasumovsky quartet, the iconic Shostakovich Quartet No 8 will be performed from memory. After the main concert there will be a short performance by local string players who have been working with the Quartet. You are welcome to stay and support them.
