Fitzwilliam String Quartet
St. Andrew's Church, Aysgarth
The quartet attracted international recognition as the first group to record and perform all 15 Shostakovich String Quartets. Shostakovich travelled to York to hear their performance of his 13th quartet, and this musical friendship prospered through correspondence, and the Western premieres of his final 3 quartets. Whilst their pre-eminence in the interpretation of Shostakovich has persisted, they have also gained recognition for their service to composers from the early 17th century to the present day. The quartet tours extensively worldwide, and has produced many award-winning recordings for Decca, Linn, and Divine Art.

Help to access concerts/help with transport:
Would you love to come to concerts but need help with transport or mobility issues?
We have funding from the 2020 Coop Community Fund aimed at providing transport from different parts of Wensleydale using taxis and minibuses, and if there is sufficient demand a general bus service to and from concerts. If you need help please contact us and we will see what we can do to help. If you need somebody to bring you to a concert we can help by providing a free 'carer' ticket - this is aimed at people who would not otherwise buy a ticket.
