The Stanford Quartet will perform Mozart's String Quartet K464, Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 and Haydn's String Quartet No. 2 - The Joke on Saturday, April 8.
Sisters Laura, Eleanor and Amy Stanford, along with cellist Jessica Cox, established the Stanford Quartet at the Royal Academy of Music.
In 1999 The Stanford Quartet was pleased to be awarded a scholarship to attend the Chilingirian String Quartet course at West Dean College and in 2000 won the John B McEwan Quartet prize performing the Ravel string quartet.
The following year saw them as prize winners in the Sir Arthur Bliss competition with a performance of the Bliss oboe quintet and in 2002 the quartet entered the Wigmore Hall Competition, succeeding to the semi-finals performing Beethoven and Debussy.
The Stanford Quartet have since played widely throughout the UK to high acclaim.
The concert starts at 8pm and tickets at the door cost £7, students go free.
