Programme Notes


With a busy schedule of concerts throughout the UK and Europe, the Dante Quartet has appeared over the past two years at the Wigmore Hall, Aldeburgh Festival, Bath International Festival, Spitalfields Festival, Presteigne Festival, Hampstead and Highgate Festival, Deal, Swaledale and Dartington Festivals, Conway Hall, LSO St Luke’s and St George’s Bristol with tours of France, Scotland, the North and West Country.

 
In 2004 the quartet inaugurated its own chamber music festival at Launceston in North Cornwall, which proved highly successful and is now repeated annually. The quartet performs frequently on BBC Radio 3, broadcasting live from venues such as Cheltenham, Birmingham Symphony Hall and Cardiff. International appearances include residencies at the Kuhmo International Chamber Music Festival in Finland, and concerts in France, Spain, Holland and Swizerland and Poland.

We also welcome Raphael Wallfisch, one of the UK's finest cellists, whose concert and masterclass career is at the highest international level.
