A Concert By The Tippett Quartet At St Nicholas Church
A group of renowned musicians who regularly appear at top venues
The Tippett Quartet will perform a Concert on Thursday 4 October at 7.30pm at St Nicholas Church, Chiswick Mall, W4 2PJ.
The performance will include quartets from Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Mozart.
Tickets cost £25 with all profits to St Nicholas Church.
The Quartet regularly appear at Kings Place, Purcell Room, Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Bridgewater Hall and frequently perform on BBC Radio 3. They have performed at the BBC Proms and toured Europe, Canada and Mexico. Their broad and diverse repertoire highlights the Tippett Quartet’s unique versatility.
The quartet recently commissioned pianist and composer Alissa Firsova to write her ‘Tennyson Fantasia’ , a project supported by The Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust, Ambache Trust and Nicholas Boas Trust. It was premiered at Kings Place with the actor Finbar Lynch reciting Tennyson’s poems and was subsequently performed on BBC Radio 3.
In 2011 they celebrated the anniversary of the iconic film com-poser Bernard Herrmann with a series of concerts and radio broadcasts alongside quartets by Miklos Rozsa and Eric Korngold. In 2014 the Tippett Quartet started a collaboration with some of the UK’s finest Jazz musicians with the launch of their ‘Close To You’ project featuring Matt Ford – a tribute to the al-bum that Frank Sinatra made with the Hollywood String Quartet.
Alongside
a busy touring schedule, the Tippett Quartet pursues a keen interest in
educational work with both schools and universities. They were Ensemble
in Residence at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University for 2012-13
and since September 2015 they began two exciting new residencies at Royal
Holloway University, London and St Edmund’s School, Canterbury. They
are also featured in the new Boosey & Hawkes publication “4 Strings”
edited and compiled by Liz Partridge.
