They have been playing together since 2006 and frequently perform with other artists and media in works such as Steve Reich’s Different Trains with electronics, The Juliet Letters by Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet, Arts Council funded collaborative projects with installation artist Pam Foley, with Moonrakers folk group and recording for a Japanese department store at Abbey Road Studios.
The musicians are all established performers individually, with musical activities ranging from orchestral leading and continuo playing to baroque and jazz performances. Together they strive to find different ways to present a wide variety of music, stripping away some of the formality which chamber music performance is perceived to involve.
