The Endellion String Quartet,
at the Imperial Hotel and Spa, Hythe
25th to 27th February 2011
The Endellion String Quartet recently celebrated its Thirtieth Anniversary Season.
Renowned as one of the finest quartets in the world, their schedule has included regular tours of North and South America and concerts in Australasia, the Far East, the Middle East, South Africa and every West European country. Everywhere, the Quartet "sets the audience ablaze" (Daily Telegraph) and "captivates concertgoers with a remarkable rapport, playing to each other with a sense almost of discovery, communicating to the audience on a level of unusual intimacy" (Guardian).
In Britain, the Quartet has appeared at nearly all the major series and festivals and regularly broadcasts on BBC radio and television. It has appeared at the Proms, and has been featured in the week-long programmes "Artist of the Week" and "Artists in Focus". Its presence in London has been marked by several series both at the South Bank and Wigmore Hall, where the Quartet were Artistic Directors of several "Quartet Plus" series.
