ASTRA QUARTET – string quartet

Young Artist Series

The Astra Quartet brings together four prize-winning musicians based in London. All are experienced and passionate chamber musicians from different parts of the world who met while studying across the London conservatoires, and all of the Quartet have been winners of the Royal Over-Seas League Strings and Keyboard Ensembles Prize with previous ensembles. They have performed at renowned venues and festivals as chamber musicians, including the Wigmore Hall, Kings Place London and Conway Hall.

For the ensemble’s Festival debut, their programme will feature Haydn String Quartet in D major, Op. 20 No. 4 and Ravel String Quartet in F major. This programme showcases masterworks from different eras of the string quartet – the 2nd movement of the Haydn is a particular favourite of the group, which shares its beautiful thematic material between all four instruments; the Ravel is a masterpiece, packed with expression and colour, spirit and joy.

NB this concert replaces our previously advertised event with the Regency Quartet

Tickets are available per concert or for the full weekend (including all 8 concerts) .
