Carducci Music TrustBECOME A FRIEND OR PATRON OF THE CARDUCCI QUARTET AND HELP KEEP CHAMBER MUSIC ALIVE!
The Carducci Quartet are passionate about the positive role that classical music can have in the community. The aim of the Carducci Friends and Patrons is to create a support network, which will encourage interest in chamber music and help take live music to a new generation. Here are just some of the ways Carducci Friends and Patrons can help:
 The Carducci Festival at Highnam is the quartet’s own festival and is an excellent example of the quartet’s determination to promote free or low cost children’s events, alongside concerts of the highest international level. The Quartet have been astonished at the level of local support, interest and enthusiasm for the idea, without which the festival would not be possible. Taking live music into schools is essential in promoting classical music to a new generation. The Carducci Quartet provides school workshops that are interactive and promise to be exciting, creative and unique. In the current climate, schools are often reluctant or unable to fund such events, so money needs to be found elsewhere.Performing at top venues such as the Wigmore Hall, London and the National Concert Hall, Dublin is vital for maintaining the quartet’s international reputation. Despite their high profile these concerts rarely pay for themselves and the Carducci Friends can help provide crucial support for such events.
 The Carducci Chamber Music Courses in the UK, France and Ireland are an invaluable part of the quartet’s work. For the past 7 years they have been offering weeks of intensive master classes and concerts for young people from around Europe eager to develop their chamber music skills. The quartet would like to be able to offer financial assistance to enable the experience to be open to everyone.
As a classical music group operating in today’s climate, the Carducci Quartet must constantly look for new ways to support their activities so that they can be in a strong enough position to make possible the kind of concerts and projects that they believe in. To achieve this, they need friends and patrons!
