The Benyounes Quartet

Rougemont Church - Monday 2 January 2012

The members of the Benyounes Quartet hail from England, Wales and Ireland and are united by their love of chamber music and enthusiasm for communicating with audiences. They met at the Royal Northern College of Music in 2007, where they were recipients of major prizes for string quartet. Winners of the Royal Philharmonic
Society's prestigious Julius Isserlis Scholarship, the quartet continued studies at the Haute Ecole de Musique de
Genève with Professor Gabor Takacs-Nagy.

The Benyounes Quartet currently holds the Richard Carne Junior Fellowship for String Quartet at the Trinity Laban
Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Recently chosen as Park Lane Group Young Artists, they will give their Purcell Room debut in January 2012. In the summer of 2010, they were invited to perform an exciting new collaborative
work by a young British composer at the Verbier Festival, Aix-en-Provence Festival, and Aldeburgh Festival. This season the quartet gave recitals at the Dartington, West Cork and Bellerive Festivals.
