More about the Dudok Quartet
Ever enterprising, the 2020 coronavirus crisis saw the Dudok Quartet embrace new initiatives with the launch of its own “Signature Sessions” concert series in Amsterdam, supported by the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.
Joe Stirling Memorial Concert
On his death, Joe Stirling left a generous legacy to Norfolk & Norwich Music Club (now Norwich Chamber Music), in appreciation of the great pleasure he had gained from his membership and the concerts it has organised.
It was his wish that the legacy be used to support an annual concert, with free admission extended to current members, his family and students. Members are invited to make a voluntary contribution to extend the duration of the fund for future concerts (or at the Trustees' discretion, the musical education of young people).
