MARCH CONCERTS

Friday 2 March                          MANCHESTER
The Stoller Hall, Hunts Bank M3 1DA, 7.30pm
ENDELLION STRING QUARTET
The Endellion is renowned as one of the finest quartets in the world. In 2013 Gramophone stated 'There’s always a feeling when listening to the Endellion Quartet that you’re listening to the Urtext method of quartet playing. Maybe 35 years of playing together has brought to them as a group a uniformity of thought and instinct that allows them to play as a single entity.'
