The Smith Quartet are joined by two other student quartets, including the Boult Quartet, for a performance of Steve Reich's Triple Quartet.  Short works by Andrew Poppy and Joe Cutler complete the programme, alongside the world premiere of a new commission from recent graduate Joshua Penduck, who won the Birmingham Conservatoire Composition Prize in 2009.
