Saturday 21st March
Recital Series

Royal String Quartet, Holy Trinity Church, 7.30pm

Founded in Warsaw at the Academy in 1998, the Royal Quartet has already received numerous prestigious awards and honours, and is one of the most talked-about young string quartets in music circles today. Chosen as the Wigmore Hall Quartet in Residence for 2006 (as was the Škampa before them) they were one of the BBC Young Generation Artists (2004), and in the same year they were chosen to play for our Queen and royal family during the state visit of Poland’s President.

They have studied, both individually and as a group, with some of the greatest quartets, including the Amadeus, Guaneri and Chilingirian, but their greatest mentors have been (and continue to be) the Alban Berg Quartet, in Cologne. Their programme comprises three great quartets: Mozart’s ‘Hoffmeister’, the A minor Quartet of Mendelssohn and Beethoven’s very last quartet, the opus 135 in F.
