All 15 of Shostakovitch’s string quartets across one incredible weekend.

A rare opportunity to journey through the extraordinary musical and emotional landscape of Shostakovich’s quartets, delivered by one of the world’s leading chamber ensembles.

From the delicate innocence of the early quartets to the haunting intensity of the later works, Shostakovich’s quartets represent an unmatched journey through personal, political, and artistic turmoil.

This is a unique opportunity to experience them as they were meant to be heard—as a cohesive, immersive body of work.

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
