The Albion Quartet at The Castle at Taunton
23–25 November 2018
Tamsin Waley-Cohen violin
Emma Parker violins
Rosalind Ventris viola

Speaker: Richard Wigmore
The Albion Quartet have fast-established a reputation for imaginative and eclectic programming – the music performed at this weekend will range from ‘Papa Haydn’ to the 20th century, to William Walton’s String Quartet No.1.
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 ECHO 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.
