Adderbury Ensemble concert
23 October 2024
Regular readers may have noticed that I don’t go to a lot of chamber music concerts: I’m not sure why, because those few occasions I have been persuaded to attend have always been really enjoyable. And the fact that I first wrote these exact words here in November 2009 (after attending a performance in Bedford by the Galliard Ensemble), and haven't featured much chamber music here since, rather reinforces the point. Last Friday we were at the Radcliffe Centre in Buckingham for a string quartet recital by the Adderbury Ensemble from North Oxfordshire. It was a lovely concert, featuring quartets by Haydn and Shostakovich and the original string quartet version of the 'Simple Symphony' by Benjamin Britten. The Adderbury Ensemble finished the performance with a couple of arrangements by the Danish String Quartet of traditional Scandinavian songs and dance tunes (from the excellent album 'Wood Works').
