Formed in 1979 and Quartet in Residence at Cambridge University since 1992, it is fair to say that the Endellion is one of most established string quartets in the world – with only one change of personnel in almost four decades.

The quartet has performed at countless prestigious festivals and series across the world, including the Proms, and has worked with guest artists such as Sir Thomas Allen, Joshua Bell, Benjamin Grosvenor, Steven Isserlis and Stephen Hough.

As well as regular broadcasting appearances, the group’s recording output features the complete Beethoven quartets, viola quintets and quartet fragments, to mark its 30th year in 2008.

At The Stoller Hall, the Endellion will tackle Mozart’s String Quartet No. 14 in G major, Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Webern’s atonal Six Bagatelles for String Quartet and Brahms’ String Quartet No. 1 in C minor.
