‘Most outstanding…superbly controlled technique and commanding musicality throughout… astonishing…’
The Yorkshire Post at the Leeds International Piano Competition

In May 2013 they became the first ensemble in 15 years to win the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society’s Young Artists Award.

Their live recording of Tippett’s string quartets at Wigmore Hall received widespread acclaim and won the Gramophone Chamber Disc of the Year in 2016. A subsequent release on Harmonia Mundi of Tchaikovsky: Quartets 1 & 3 was selected as Disc of the Week by both The Sunday Times and BBC Radio 3.

In 2018 the quartet were on-stage cast members in Calixto Bieito’s play adaptation of Robert Burton’s The Anatomy of Melancholy, with performances in Birmingham, Brighton, Luxembourg, Bilbao and Amsterdam. During the play they performed movements from Ligeti’s Second String Quartet and Beethoven’s String Quartet No.11, Op. 95, providing emotional depth to the monologues spoken by the cast

Essex 1968. Like millions of other working women, each morning Rita O’Grady is just trying to get her husband out of bed, get the kids off to school and get to work at the factory on time. But life is about to change forever when it’s announced that the girls in the stitching room of Ford’s Dagenham car plant will have their pay grade dropped to ‘unskilled’. Quickly drawing on a strength she never knew she had, Rita leads her friends in a battle against the might of Ford and the corruption of the Union supposed to protect them. As the girls’ inspiring journey gets bigger than anyone could have imagined, the pressure is too much for some, but can Rita keep up the fight and the happy home she’s worked so hard for?

Brought to you by the Production Team for The Full Monty and 9 to 5, this funny, touching and important musical is not to be missed.
