Doric String Quartet
As the Doric String Quartet enters their 25th anniversary, the players continue to deepen their interpretations and win fans across the world.
Made up of Maia Cabeza (violin), Ying Xue (violin), Emma Wernig (viola) and John Myerscough (cello), the group brings an elegance and intimacy both to the Classical canon and new music. Their intellectual rigour has led them to use specially made original-style bows for performing Classical repertoire from Haydn to Mendelssohn, but they are also committed to new music, performing works by composers such as Peter Maxwell Davies and Donnacha Dennehy. Their curiosity and flexibility are represented by a discography of more than 20 recordings for Chandos and they have performed at famous venues around the world.
Kleio Quartet
First Prize and Commission Prize winners at the Carl Nielsen International Chamber Music Competition 2023, the Kleio Quartet are quickly establishing themselves as an internationally-recognised quartet.
They formed at the Seiji Ozawa International Chamber Academy in 2019 and consist of Juliette Roos (violin), Katherine Yoon (violin), Yume Fujise (viola) and Eliza Millett (cello). They are delighted to join the BBC New Generation Artists scheme from September 2024- 26 and have recently been appointed as the resident quartet for the Royal Northern College of Music’s String Quartet Studio.
