Piatti Quartet
About the Piatti Quartet
Prizewinners at the 2015 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition, the Piatti Quartet is amongst the UK’s foremost young ensembles with a host of awards and critically-acclaimed recordings to its name. The Quartet has been reappointed as the 2015-16 Richard Carne Junior Fellows in String Quartet at Trinity Laban. The group continues to actively expand its repertoire with premieres of commissions from several acclaimed British composers.
Recent activities include residencies in both the Aix-en-Provence and Rye Arts festivals, a debut in Istanbul, and a new recording of the 1st Razumovsky Quartet. The group takes its name from the great 19th-century cellist Alfredo Piatti, who was a leading professor and exponent of quartet playing at the Royal Academy of Music.
