“The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam was quite simply revelatory. The players’ persistent delicacy, the freshly thought-out balances between instrumental lines, the communication of music so familiar as something new, all added up to a kind of musical spring cleaning that was extraordinarily energising in its effect.” The Irish Times

Chamber Music Concerts (CMC) presents the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam on Friday, January 16th at 7:30pm at the Southern Oregon University Music Recital Hall, 450 S Mountain Ave, Ashland, OR. Purchase tickets at ChamberMusicConcerts.org or call 541-552-6154.

Having first met as members of a Dutch street symphony orchestra, the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam takes its name from renowned Dutch architect Willem Marinus Dudok. The quartet is forging a reputation as one of the most creative and versatile quartets of its generation. With its ethos of ‘sharing the heart of music,’ the ensemble believes that chamber music is an act of friendship and play to be shared directly with audiences and is committed to crafting unique and eclectic programs that engage listeners in imaginative ways.

The quartet has performed at many of Europe’s major venues and festivals, including the Vienna Konzerthaus, Wigmore Hall, Beethovenhaus Bonn, De Bijloke, Barcelona Auditori, De Doelen, Festspiele Mecklenburg Vorpommern, BBC Proms, Heidelberg String Quartet Festival and West Cork Chamber Music Festival, as well as appearing regularly at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Amsterdam Muziekgebouw.

The Dudok’s concert program for CMC features Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet in F Major, Op. 73 and Franz Schubert’s String Quartet in G Major, D. 887.

Tickets are $39/49, with discounts available for full-time students and Oregon Trail Card holders. Purchase online at ChamberMusicConcerts.org or by calling 541-552-6154.
