 THE FINZI STRING QUARTET
Winners of the Tunnell Trust Award
SARA WOLSTENHOLME ~ violin
NATALIE DICK ~ violin
RUTH GIBSON ~ viola
LYDIA SHELLEY ~ cello
Winners of this year’s Tunnell Trust Award, the Finzi String Quartet were granted a concert tour of Scottish music clubs in November, with the Trust paying their concert fee. The quartet was formed under the guidance of the late Dr Christopher Rowland at the Royal Northern College of Music, and has recently been appointed Junior Fellows in String Quartet at Trinity College of Music. Selected by the Tillett Trust and the Park Lane Group, 2009-2010 sees the Quartet’s debut at both the Wigmore Hall and the Purcell Room. Last year, the Quartet was invited to take part in the Tunnell Trust’s Blair Atholl Showcase in Scotland, to which it returned earlier this year, and recently undertook a two-week residency in Aldeburgh following visits to the Britten-Pears International Academy of String Quartets in 2006 and 2008. It is a laureate of this year’s 31st London International String Quartet Competition, and was recently selected for the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in Norway which takes place this autumn.
Being interested in promoting the music of English composers, the Quartet feels honoured that the Finzi Trust supports their use of Gerald Finzi’s name.
