A chance to hear the Royal String Quartet perform Sofia Gubaidulina's quartets at St Giles, Cripplegate. 1/4: Quartet No 2, written in 1987, is the shortest of the four works.

During the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra's Gubaidulina Weekend in January 2007, the Royal String Quartet performed all four of Gubaidulina's unique quartets at St Giles, Cripplegate, in London's Barbican Centre. Now aged 76, Sofia Gubaidulina lived through the Soviet era, maintaining her artistic integrity in astonishingly powerful music inspired by her profound Russian Orthodox faith.

1/4. Gubaidulina's Quartet No 2, written in 1987, is the shortest of the four works.
