Classical Coffee Mornings - Walmsley String Quartet

More At The Hall: Classical Coffee Mornings

We have collaborated with our neighbours at the Royal College of Music for this exciting series of concerts. Classical Coffee Mornings give you the chance to listen to outstanding talent from the College at Sunday morning classical recitals in the Hall's Elgar Room. Tickets include a hot drink and a pastry.

The Walmsley Quartet was formed in September 2012, and gave its debut performance as part of the Chilingirian Schubert Festival later that month. Subsequent projects have included recording for the BBC Radio 3 documentary Between the Ears - the Scalpel and the Bow, and performing Ligeti’s Quartet No. 1 at the Purcell Room as part of the Woven Words: Lutosławski Centenary 2013 series.

All four members are enthusiastic chamber musicians, and their interests encompass an extremely wide range of musical genres. They look forward to continuing to explore the quartet repertoire together. The Walmsley Quartet takes its name from Jane's cello, which was made by English luthier Peter Walmsley in 1746.
