The Heath Quartet is rapidly emerging as an exciting and original voice on the international chamber music scene. Selected for representation by Young Concert Artists Trust (YCAT) in 2008 they went on to win 1^st Prize at the Tromp Competition in Eindhoven and 2^nd Prize at the Haydn Competition in Vienna. In 2011 they were awarded a Borletti-Buitoni Special Ensemble Scholarship and undertook two complete Beethoven Quartet cycles at the Fàcyl Festival in Salamanca Spain and at Greyfriars Church in Edinburgh. Engagements during the 2011/12 season include recitals at Wigmore Hall as part of the Emerging Talent scheme, including the premiere of a new work by Luke Bedford and collaborations with Stephen Hough and Ian Bostridge. They make their debut at the Kissingen Winterzauber Festival in Germany, the deSingel Arts Centre in Antwerp as part of a Britten Day, return to the Netherlands and Banff, tour throughout Argentina and record their second CD of quartets by Janacek and Schulhoff. Future plans include complete Tippett and Bartók cycles at Wigmore Hall. Over the last year the Heath Quartet has given recitals at the Barbican, Musikverein (Vienna), Vara Konserthus (Sweden), Schwetzinger and Festspiele Mecklenburg Vorpommern Festivals, as well as BBC Radio 3 broadcasts from Birmingham Town Hall and Bath Festival. They returned to Italy and the Netherlands and studied with Andras Schiff and Erich Hobart at IMS Prussia Cove. The Heath Quartet was formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music, under the guidance of the late Dr Christopher Rowland and Alasdair Tait. They are currently senior Chamber Music Fellows at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

We were thrilled to join the BBT family last year having been awarded the Special Ensemble Award. It has been an invaluable part of our development as a quartet, and the support given by Susan, David and Debra continues to enable our dreams to come true!
