Schumann String Quartet in F Op 41 No 2
The Doric String Quartet brings an elegance and intimacy both to the Classical canon and new music, with the depth and integrity of their interpretations winning them fans across the world. Having performed cycles of Haydn, Mendelssohn, Britten and Bartók at famous international venues, including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Vienna Konzerthaus and Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, they now turn their attention to Beethoven, continuing their recording project for Chandos, with the first instalment released in 2023 and being praised by The Times as ‘a joy’. The series will culminate in 2026–27 with the 200th anniversary of the composer’s death.
Their intellectual rigour has led them to use specially made original-style bows for performing Classical repertoire from Haydn to Mendelssohn, and while they are known for their refined performances of this repertoire, they are also committed to new music, performing works by composers such as Thomas Adès, Andrea Tarrodi, Peter Maxwell Davies and Donnacha Dennehy. In 2019 they gave the world premiere of Brett Dean’s String Quartet no.3, commissioned for them by Musica Viva Australia, Carnegie Hall, Edinburgh Festival, Berlin Konzerthaus, Amsterdam String Quartet Biennale and West Cork Chamber Music Festival.
Doors open 45 minutes before performance. There are large double doors at the side of the building with no steps that allow easy access for wheelchairs directly into the hall. Please let us know if you need to reserve space for wheelchairs. There is no reserved seating (except for those in wheelchairs). It is first come, first served, but the hall is not large (about twelve rows of twelve seats) and the acoustics are excellent throughout.
Tickets for those in full-time education are £10 direct from secretary@peakmusicsociety.org.uk
VERY IMPORTANT - please note! There is a Cavendish Village Hall in the village of Beeley (postcode DE45 2NU), 2.5 miles away at the other end of the Chatsworth Park from Edensor. This shows up when you Google "Cavendish Hall Edensor", and we have been told that one or two car SatNav systems have been wrongly locating our postcode DE45 1PJ there as well, so please check you are headed for Edensor and not Beeley before you drive off! If you Google "Peak Music Society" it will show the correct position on the map.
