The Quartet are a Resident Ensemble at the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia in Madrid with former Alban Berg Quartet leader Guenter Pichler and at the Dutch String Quartet Academy in Amsterdam with Marc Danel of the Danel Quartet. They have received mentoring from Quartetto di Cremona at the Stauffer Centre in Cremona and have been privileged to work closely with Eberhard Feltz.

They have received awards including First Prize in the Royal Overseas League International Chamber Music Competition, First Prize in the Cavatina Chamber Music Competition, First Prize in the Triomphe de l’Art Competition in Belgium, Audience Prize at the Schiermonikoog Festival and the Special Prize of the Shostakovich Association in Paris.

The Quartet perform frequently in association with ProQuartet in France and Dimore del Quartetto in Italy and tour around the UK in their capacity as Philip & Dorothy Green Young Artists. They have been mentored by members of the Brodsky, Endellion, Belcea, Chilingirian, Castalian, Bozzini, and Consone Quartets as well as Gary Hoffman, Alasdair Tait, and Adrian Brendel.
