Formed in 2001 at the Royal College of Music, the Sacconi Quartet is rapidly gaining an enviable reputation as one of the outstanding quartets of their generation. Recent recitals at Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall, the Purcell Room and the Edinburgh and Aldeburgh Festivals have been met with glowing reviews including an Angel Award by The Glasgow Herald for outstanding performances at the Edinburgh Festival.
In addition, the quartet has been the recipient of numerous prizes at major international competitions. They have collaborated closely with the celebrated Chilingirian Quartet and many of today’s distinguished international artists including Tim Boulton, Lawrence Power, Raphael Wallfisch and a five star-rated Naxos release with baritone Roderick Williams.
That’s what I call live performance!
The Observer
The festival sensation, the young Sacconi Quartet completely bowled over a packed audience. The chemistry between these four young players is tangible and magical.
