The Heath Quartet’s reputation as one of Britain’s most exciting and innovative young ensembles has grown steadily since its formation in 2002. The group’s committed and vibrant playing has been recognised through success in many competitions, followed by a highly successful debut recital at the Purcell Room. In 2006 the Royal Northern College of Music awarded the Quartet the Sir John Barbirolli Memorial Prize for Chamber Music. They have enjoyed the mentorship of many eminent musicians including members of the Takacs, Alban Berg, Smetana, Oslo, Endellion and Lindsay Quartets. Their flair for communication brings new energy to established masterpieces like Mozart’s unique Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, the lyrical melodies of which, composed in 1789 for the clarinettist Anton Stadler, remain perennially popular.
