The Carducci Quartet

This week we were really lucky to be visited by the world famous Carducci Quartet along with a special guest Morgan Szymanski.

These amazing musicians are;

Matthew Denton  - Violin
Michelle Fleming - Violin
Eoin Schmidt-Martin - Viola
Emma Denton - Cello

The quartet have visited the school before to play for all of us and this year was just as fantastic as ever. They make it look so easy and run the afternoon in a really fun way.

They played;

Haydn - Op. 33 'Joke'
Shostakovich  - Wrong Note Polka
Philip Glass - Company
Haydn - Op.33 Bird
Shostakovich  - Quartete No. 5
Arbeau - Sword Dance
Dvorak - American Finale
Morgan then played Sketches of Mexico by Julio Cesar Oliva on the Classical Guitar
Boccherini - Fandango Quintet
