Gildas Quartet

Contrary to the printed brochure, the Trio Cordiera are now unable to perform; but we are very pleased that the Gildas Quartet have agreed to fill the gap.

Hatty Haynes – Violin

Gemma Sharples – Violin

Francesca Gilbert – Viola

Anna Menzies – Cello

The Gildas Quartet, praised for their ‘energy, verve and refreshing approach’ have performed to critical acclaim at major venues including the Bridgewater Hall, Purcell Room, Wigmore Hall and live on BBC Radio 3. Their bold and explorative approach to performance has been recognised by the International Franz Schubert and Modern Music Competition, Graz, where they won first prize in the Audience Engagement Award 2018.

They will perform an imaginative and compelling programme, stretching from the 17th century to the present day:

Jessie Montgomery – Break away suite

Joseph Haydn – String Quartet Op 76 No 1 in G

Henry Purcell – 2 fantasias

Benjamin Britten – String Quartet No 3
