Tuesday 4th May - Brodowski String Quartet
7.30pm Concert Start.
Sadly, the Brodowski Quartet have had to drop out of the festival. Fortunately, we have managed to have the Solstice Quartet perform in their stead.
First prize winners in the 2009 Royal Over-seas League Competition, the Solstice String Quartet is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the finest young quartets in the UK. Selected by both the Tillett Trust and Park Lane Group in 2008 the quartet made their debuts at the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room in 2009. Established whilst studying at the Cambridge University in 2003, they held a Junior Fellowship at the IIMC in Madrid in 2008-9 where they studied with Prof. Günter Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet. They currently study with the ProQuartet Foundation in Paris and hold the Leverhulme Chamber Music Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music.
