The Alke String Quartet play Haydn and Janácek

The Alke Quartet was formed in 2011 from members of the Southbank Sinfonia and during 2015/17, the Alke Quartet are in residence at the Royal College of Music on the Chamber Music Course, kindly supported by a legacy from the late Albert and Eugenie Frost. Following their highly successful Park Lane Group audition in Spring 2015, the Alke Quartet has given the Park Lane Group's annual performance of Haydn’s The Seven Last words from The Cross at St Martin in the Fields, performed with great success in the Park Lane Group Young Artists Spring Series in St John’s Smith Square last April and will be presented by the Park Lane Group in Wigmore Hall on the 13th March 2017. Part of the ChamberStudio, Kings Place London, the Alke Quartet have received masterclasses from Rita Wagner, Krysia Osostowicz, Simon Rowland-Jones and Richard Ireland. Finalists in the Bloch Music Competition and St. Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition, they were accepted for the International Music Seminar Prussia Cove, working closely with the Endellion Quartet’s David Waterman. Their performance venues include St Martin in the Fields, St John’s Smith Square, St James’s Piccadilly, Bath’s Pump Room and the Barbican Centre.
