SUMMARY:The Heath Quartet – Romantic Resonances
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Britten: Three Divertimenti\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Quartet no.1 in G Major, K. 80, Lodi\nInterval\nJosef Suk: Meditation on an Old Czech Hymn “St. Wenceslas” op. 30a\nRobert Schumann: Quartet in F Major, op. 41, no. 2\n \n\nOne of the most acclaimed British string quartets, the Heath String Quartet has built a strong reputation for its dynamic and committed performances.\nEstablished at the Royal Northern College of Music, they were subsequently selected for representation by YCAT in 2008 and, in 2013, became the first ensemble in fifteen years to win the prestigious RPS Young Artists Award. In 2016 they won the Gramophone Chamber Award for their recording of the complete Tippett quartets and were featured performing the composer’s Second quartet in the BBC programme ‘Classic Quartets’ at the BBC.\nThe Tippett album was followed by two discs recorded for Harmonia Mundi/PIAS and part-funded by a BBT Special Ensemble Scholarship, of Tchaikovsky’s First and Third quartets (BBC Radio 3’s Disc of the Week) and the complete Bartók quartets (2017 Limelight Chamber Music Award; nominated for 2018 Gramophone Chamber Award). Their recent album for Signum Records, with soprano Carolyn Sampson, brings together works by Berg, Webern and Schoenberg.\nWith a recording of Helen Grime’s Second Quartet they contributed towards Bracing Change 2, an anthology of contemporary British string quartets on NMC which was nominated as Gramophone Editor’s Choice in 2023. Other accolades include first prize at the 2008 TROMP competition, and the 2012 Ensemble Prize at the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.\nNotable highlights include a two-season residency at Berlin’s Pierre Boulez Saal, their Barcelona debut in Palau de la Musica Catalana, a Beethoven series at Bath Festival, debuts at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Saffron Hall and Cheltenham Festival, as well as concerts at Handelsbeurs Ghent, Aldeburgh, and Norfolk & Norwich festivals.\nRecent seasons have included a tour of the USA, a live broadcast with Steven Osborne for the BBC Proms and an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s ‘How to Play’; a highly-acclaimed programme exploring Schubert’s Death and the Maiden. The quartet continued its long association with Wigmore Hall with a four-concert series and gave the inaugural concert at the newly renovated Brighton Dome Corn Exchange. They also performed at The British Library and were faculty members at the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme. The quartet enjoyed collaborations with, amongst others, Anastasia Kobekina, Robert Plane, Tom Poster, Matthias Schorn, Alice Neary, Hélène Clement and the Elias String Quartet\n\n
