Event overview
We welcome back internationally renowned ensemble-in-residence The Kreutzer Quartet to give this evening's concert.
The Kreutzer Quartet are the resident ensemble for Goldsmiths Composition Department, and each year take great delight in exploring the new spectacular new work emerging from this community. This internationally acclaimed quartet is made up of four dynamic soloists and a composer, from the USA, Australia, Macedonia and the UK. They are the dedicatees of hundreds of new works, and have collaborated with many of the great composers.
