In June 2010, the
Piatti String Quartet launched the 'Piatti Chamber Music Festival at
Kingsand'
Cornwall
with great success and in February 2011 are looking forward to their
Wigmore and Conway Hall debuts. 2011 will also see the Piatti Quartet
extensively touring the British music scene as part of both the
prestigious Countess of Munster and the Making Music recital schemes, as
well as some very exciting collaboration projects with Austrian pianist
Gottlieb Wallisch and clarinetist Emma Johnson.
The
Quartet has previously played throughout the
UK
at various venues and festivals including the Purcell Room, Royal
Festival Hall,
St Martin
in the Fields, St James Piccadilly and the National Gallery. The Quartet
members are all past and current award-winning students from the Royal
College of Music and Royal Academy of Music and have studied with
members of the Amadeus Quartet, Chilingirian Quartet, Alban Berg
Quartet, Keller Quartet, Maggini Quartet, Vellinger Quartet, Brodsky
Quartet, Artis Quartet and with Jon Thorne. In 2009 they received the
MBF Ensemble Award to attend the International Sommerakademie Prague/Vienna/Budapest
where they performed extensively throughout Austria in venues including
Brahms House and the Schloss Rothschild castle. During 2009/10 they also
attended Pro Quartet In France with Walter Levine and The London String
Quartet Foundations Symposium where they studied with members form the
Takacs Quartet, Vermeer Quartet and Endellion Quartet. 2011 will see the
Quartet studying on a full Scholarship with Gunter Pichler of the Alban
Berg Quartet at the International Institute of Chamber Music Of Madrid.
The
Piatti Quartet is extremely grateful for the generosity and support of
the Nicolas Boas Charitable Trust, the Musicians Benevolent Fund, the
Concordia Foundation and Ian Ellis.
