They kept playing together, changed their name after meeting the Cleveland Quartet from Ohio, and started making a mark nationally in the UK and internationally in the 1980s. Staggeringly, two of those original children: violinist Ian Belton and cellist Jacqueline Thomas are still with the quartet after 52 years and they are joined for this tour by viola player Paul Cassidy \u2013 also a long-term member, having joined in 1982 and their newest member, but long time friend, Krysia Osostowicz who\u2019s moved into the first violinist position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-play-controller__message\"> This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. <\/p>\n<p>Recorded by RNZ Concert, Auckland Concert Chamber, 22 March 2024<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nProducer: Tim Dodd<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nEngineer: Adrian Hollay<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia&#8217;s leading didgeridoo player William Barton joins the Brodsky Quartet from the UK for an exciting programme of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":583179,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[48,47,111,43,139,69,49,46,44,45],"class_list":["post-583178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-audio","tag-current-affairs","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-podcasts","tag-public-radio","tag-radio-new-zealand","tag-rnz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=583178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/583179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=583178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=583178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=583178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
