TIPPETT QUARTET

The Tippett Quartet is one of Britain’s leading string quartets, committed to combining mainstream repertoire with contemporary works, and have been described as “bold and innovative…extraordinary technical accomplishment with flair and a bright communicative spark” (The Times). Their interpretations are stylistically varied, informed by the breadth of their repertoire and it is their clarity of execution and total commitment in their performances that has led to collaborations with artists such as Lawrence Power, David Owen Norris, Melvyn Tan, Ashley Wass and Craig Ogden.

The quartet has premièred works by composers including John Adams, Cecilia Ore, Simon Holt, Robert Walker, Howard Goodall and Stephen Dodgson. The quartet’s impressive and diverse catalogue of recordings have not only topped the classical charts but also entered the pop charts. The Tippett Quartet was formed in 1998, the year in which they made their Wigmore Hall début. They have since performed at the BBC Proms, Cheltenham Festival, Three Choirs Festival, Chichester Festivities, Dartington International Summer School, Presteigne Festival and Lincolnshire International Chamber Music Festival. They have also performed at King’s Place, Purcell Room, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Bridgewater Hall, The Sage, Gateshead and regularly return to Wigmore Hall. They frequently appear on BBC Radio 3 and have broadcast live performances on Radio Novi Sad, Serbia and Sveriges Radio (Swedish National Radio).
