Winner of the St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition in 2019 and the Royal College of Music String Quartet Competition in 2022, the Brompton Quartet is known for its engaging and dynamic performances. Recent highlights include debuts at Wigmore Hall and Turner Sims Southampton, an appearance on BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’ with Lawrence Power, and being selected as a Park Lane Group Artist and Making Music Artist. Alongside Haydn and Bacewicz, they join Artistic Director, pianist Simon Callaghan in a performance of Dvořák’s much loved quintet.
This concert will be preceded by a pre-concert recital with the Tondo Duo.
“The British pianist Simon Callaghan, an intrepid explorer of forgotten as well as mainstream repertoire… gives shape and muscularity to this wistful music.” — The Guardian
