The Bell Quartet plays Britten and Bartók

The Bell Quartet was established in 2018 by four postgraduate students at the Royal Academy of Music. Sisters Rebecca and Hannah Bell quickly formed a strong musical and social bond with violist Erik Fauss (from California) and cellist Joseph Keenan (from Wales), and their shared passion for chamber music led to the formation of the Bell Quartet. Within a few weeks of establishing the quartet, the ensemble was successful in winning one of six places on the Royal Academy of Music’s prestigious Frost Advanced Specialist String Ensemble Training scheme, coached by Garfield Jackson of the Endellion Quartet. Since then, the Bell Quartet has given debut recitals in London and at Eton College, and has taken part in masterclasses with the renowned Doric Quartet and coaching with Jo Cole, Mats Lidström, and Martin Outram. The Quartet is looking forward to upcoming engagements including a second recital at Eton College Chapel, masterclasses with the Doric Quartet and Natalie Clein, the Wolfe Wolfonsohn String Quartet Prize, as well as a performance at the ‘Amazing Women of The Academy’ chamber music series at the Royal Academy of Music.
