The Albion Quartet performs Mozart and Beethoven

The Albion Quartet have fast-established a reputation for imaginative and eclectic programming. During a weekend of four concerts, they will perform music ranging from ‘Papa Haydn’ to the 20th century.

The group’s four members each previously performed with some of the UK’s foremost ensembles (the Badke and Navarra Quartets, and the London Bridge Trio), and have enjoyed numerous competition successes including winning the Melbourne and Florence International Chamber Music Competitions, and awards from the Borletti-Buitoni Trust and European Concert Hall Organisation Rising Stars, among others.

They describe themselves as having come together through the shared belief in the visceral, communicative power of the string quartet – along with a thirst for exploring the repertoire of the genre through innovative and creative programming.

A pre-concert talk by writer and broadcaster Richard Wigmore is included in the ticket price – this begins at 10.30am, with the concert proper at 11am
