Spokesman Gary Prior said: “Hailed as one of the most charismatic and adventurous quartets of the British chamber music scene, the Villiers Quartet have developed an international reputation as exceptional interpreters of English composers including Elgar, Britten and Delius.

“Formed in 2011, the Villiers Quartet have performed live on BBC Radio 3 as part of the Leamington International String Quartet Series and performed at numerous festivals and halls. The quartet has been invited to present masterclasses at Dartmouth College, Syracuse University, Sherborne School, Nottingham High School, and the University of Nottingham. Their internationally-acclaimed VQ New Works Competition encourages audiences to interact with contemporary music performance online and supports the creation of new works for string quartet.”
