Isidore String Quartet at The Hub listing on Broadway Baby

The 2022 winners of the prestigious Banff International String Quartet Competition appear with a compelling programme of deeply personal compositions.

The Isidore String Quartet brings together four gifted American string players to perform two works that held deep personal significance for their composers. Bela Bartks First String Quartet, inspired by the rhythms of Hungarian folk music and the composers unrequited love for the violinist Stefi Geyer, comes first.

Beethovens String Quartet in A minor shows its creator at both his most private and his most original. From his last group of late quartets, it weaves a web of startling, heartrending beauty. At the works core is the extended slow movement titled Holy song of thanksgiving of a convalescent to the Deity.

Enjoy these wonderful works in a relaxed, informal setting, performed by a ensemble of rising stars.

The Hub Series is supported by Sir Ewan and Lady Brown together with Flure Grossart

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
