Arts in Residence - Cultural breaks in beautiful places

SHOSTAKOVICH featuring The Brodowski String Quartet

Friday 25th February - Sunday 27th February 2011

A weekend to enjoy the works of Shostakovich who is now recognised as one of the great composers, and his wide-ranging list of compositions offers endless opportunities for discovery. Our weekend will concentrate on the autobiographical Eighth String Quartet and the various compositions associated with it. There will be musical illustrations on excellent hi-fi equipment, including DVD with large screen, and a performance by one of Britain’s leading ensembles, the Brodowski String Quartet.

The weekend will be hosted by Terry Barfoot who is the director of Arts in Residence, and writes widely on music for Britain’s leading journals, orchestras, festivals and record companies. A well-known figure in the musical life of southern England, he lectures at Oxford and other universities, and is Publications Consultant to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
