Solstice String Quartet

 
at The Old School, 
Stoke Climsland

By all accounts a wonderful evening and, as several long time members told us, "possibly the most enjoyable Chamber Music evening we have had since the Classical Club started several years ago"

First prize winners in the 2009 Royal Over-seas League Competition, the Solstice String Quartet is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most talented young quartets in the country. 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 Instituto Internacional de Música de Cámara de Madrid in 2008-9 where they studied every month with Prof. Günter Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet. They have been awarded the Leverhulme Chamber Music Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music from September 2009.

=================================================


Our concerts are set in the hall of The Old School, Stoke Climsland, and take the form:  music, dinner, music. You don't have to take the two course dinner, but most do - it is home cooked in The Old School kitchens, and usually involves a delicious but unhealthy dessert.
