A fascinating programme of miniatures for string quartet, ranging from Puccini’s poignant and beautiful Crisantemi to a slapstick polka by Shostakovich.

Described as ‘strikingly intelligent and expressive’ by The Strad, the Salomé Quartet is recognised for its heartfelt interpretations and electric sense of communication, and is quickly establishing a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting young string quartets.

The Salomé Quartet has performed worldwide in venues including the Muzikverein in Vienna, Mozarteum in Salzburg, Unesco Hall in Paris, Lutoslawski Concert Studios Warsaw and Tel Aviv Opera House. In London they have appeared at the Wigmore Hall, Barbican Centre, Southbank Centre and Cadogan Hall.
