Having performed cycles of Haydn\, Mendelssohn\ , Britten\, and Bartók at famous venues around the world\, including Amst erdam’s Concertgebouw\, Vienna Konzerthaus\, and Hamburg’s Elbphilharm onie\, this season they turn their attention to Beethoven\, embarking on a recording project for Chandos\, with the first installment out this year\ , and culminating in 2026–27 with the 200th anniversary of the composer ’s death.\n\nTheir intellectual rigour has led them to use specially mad e original-style bows for performing Classical repertoire from Haydn to Me ndelssohn\, and while they are known for their refined performances of thi s repertoire\, they are also committed to new music\, performing works by composers such as Peter Maxwell Davies and Donnacha Dennehy. In 2019 they gave the world premiere of Brett Dean’s String Quartet no.3\, commission ed for them by Musica Viva Australia\, Carnegie Hall\, Edinburgh Festival\ , Berlin Konzerthaus\, Amsterdam String Quartet Biennale\, and West Cork C hamber Music Festival.\n\nThe Doric String Quartet’s curiosity and flexi bility are represented by a discography of more than twenty recordings for Chandos\, with whom they have recorded exclusively since 2010\, ranging f rom Purcell to John Adams. They are regular visitors at Snape Maltings and London’s Wigmore Hall\, where they were the first group to perform to a live audience after lockdown. They make an annual tour of the US and visi t Japan every other year\, with venues including Suntory Hall.\n\nThey oft en perform repertoire for string quartet and orchestra\, including Elgar ’s Introduction and Allegro\, and were invited to give the Austrian prem iere of John Adam’s Absolute Jest for String Quartet and Orchestra at th e Vienna Konzerthaus\, with Adams conducting. They also gave the Dutch pre miere with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic at the Concertgebouw under M arkus Stenz\, and have performed the piece with the BBC Scottish Symphony and BBC Symphony Orchestras. Their recording with the Royal Scottish Natio nal Orchestra and Peter Oundjian\, released on Chandos in 2018\, was named Recording of the Month in BBC Music Magazine and praised for its ‘sumpt uous sweetness and laser-like clarity’.\n\nAs a group\, they enjoy worki ng with other musicians\, such as Jonathan Bass\, Elisabeth Leonskaja\, Al ina Ibragimova\, and Alexander Melnikov. They recently toured the US along side Benjamin Grosvenor\, worked with Cuarteto Quiroga\, and recorded Mend elssohn String Quintets with Timothy Ridout. This season they work with Ta bea Zimmerman\, Liza Ferschtman\, and Julius Drake.\n\nHaving themselves b enefited from coaching by groups such as the Hagen\, Alban Berg\, Artemis and LaSalle quartets\, the group is keen to support young musicians and ha s been Teaching Quartet in Association at the Royal Academy of Music since 2015 and Artistic Directors of the Mendelssohn on Mull Festival since 201 8.\n\nAlex Redington plays on a violin made by Paulo Castello c.1770\, Yin g Xue on a violin by Giovanni Gabrielli from 1754\, Hélène Clément on a viola by Francesco Giussani from 1843\, previously owned by Frank Bridge and Benjamin Britten and on generous loan from Britten-Pears Arts\, and Jo hn Myerscough performs on a cello made by the Brothers Amati in 1587.\n\nD oric String Quartet is represented In North America by Arts Management Gro up.\n\nhttps://doricstringquartet.com/\n\n\n\nChamber Music at the Clark\n Professor Rogers Brubaker\, Artistic Director\n\nChamber Music at the Clar k is made possible by The Ahmanson Foundation\, under the auspices of Lee Walcott\; The Colburn Foundation\; Martha Bardach\; Catherine Glynn Benkai m\, Ph.D. and Barbara Timmer\; Dr. Rogers Brubaker\; Dr. Susan Harris and Mark Harris\; Judy Hellinger\; Henry J.
