The Heath String Quartet
Haydn Quartet in f minor, opus 20 no.5 |
Oliver Heath violin |
We are honoured that the Heath Quartet are the resident String Quartet of the Wooburn Festival. Selected by YCAT in 2008 over the last year the Heath Quartet has won 1st Prize and the Audience Prize at the Tromp International Competition in Eindhoven and 2nd Prize at the Haydn International Competition in Vienna. The Quartet gave recitals throughout the Netherlands, including their Concertgebouw debut, and appeared at Sage Gateshead (broadcast by BBC Radio 3) and the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany.
The Heath Quartet was formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music, under the guidance of Dr. Christopher Rowland. During 2007/08 they studied with Alasdair Tait at the Reina Sofia in Madrid and in autumn 2008 were appointed Leverhulme Junior Fellows at the RNCM.
Future plans include recitals at Wigmore, Bridgewater, Perth and Queen's Hall Edinburgh, and concerts in Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and China.
In 2010 they record at the Muziekcentrum Frits Philips and undertake a two week residency at The Banff Centre in Canada.
"The Heath Quartet displayed a rare musicality....A keen interpretive insight combined with refined playing, this is one of the most interesting young quartets I have heard in recent years."
