Description
The Brodsky Quartet are known both for their love and mastery of the classical quartet repertory, as well as their pioneering collaborations with a diverse range of performing artists, which has given them an unrivalled opportunity to influence and inspire some of the newest work for string quartet.
The Juliet Letters was a unique creative partnership between Costello and the Brodsky Quartet, fusing pop sensibilities with chamber music, and inspired by an Italian professor's decision to reply to the many thousands of letters written every year to Shakespeare’s fictional Juliet.
Costello also contributed vocally to the Quartet’s expressive album Moodswings." In this performance they revisit the Juliet Letters and Moodswings, but also introduce some new songs by Costello, arranged for voice and quartet."
