Carducci Quartet Educational Work

The Carducci Quartet is passionate about educational work and in Autumn 2024 they began a two-year residency at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. The Carducci Music Trust supports their work with schools and young musicians, and they are the Philip Carne Ensemble in Residence at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, London.

The Quartet aims to perform live to over 5000 school children each year in workshops and family concerts supported by their own trust, the Carducci Music Trust and the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust. In 2011 they were nominated for a Royal Philharmonic Society Award for their family concert ‘Getting the Quartet Bug!’.

During the pandemic we developed two series of videos for the use of KS1 & KS2 primary school classes.
