Recipients of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Albert and Eugenie Frost Chamber Music Prize (2019/20), the Echéa Quartet were formed in 2017 at the Royal Academy of Music, London. The quartet are recent winners of the “Tremplin” at the Philharmonie de Paris’s String Quartet Biennale (2020) and International Anton Rubinstein Competition (2017) prizewinners. They are also currently Chamber Music Fellows at the Royal College of Music, artists for the Concordia and City Music Foundations (2019/20), and Yeomen of the Worshipful Company of Musicians.
The Echéa Quartet are mentored by John Myerscough, Simon Rowland-Jones and Mathieu Herzog. Thanks to the Harrison-Frank and City Music Foundations, the quartet are fortunate to play on a quartet of WE Hill & Sons instruments and bows (2019).
The Echéa Quartet have appeared at international festivals such as Ferrandou Musique (France), Festival de los Siete Lagos (Argentina) and West Cork Chamber Music (Ireland). They have also attended a residency at the Banff Centre (2019). They have performed in venues such as the Musikverein (Vienna), Wigmore Hall (London) and Philharmonie de Paris, and have collaborated with Marin Alsop at the World Economic Forum (Switzerland).
The Echéa Quartet have featured on BBC Radio 3’s “In Tune”, and more recently on CBC National Radio (Canada) as part of their 6-week tour of the west coast of North America (2019). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the quartet were unable to attend IMS Prussia Cove and Festival d'Aix-en-
Provence. They will however be Fellows for the Advanced String Quartet Program at Aspen Summer Music Festival, 2021.
The Echéa Quartet’s continued dedication to new music is central to their work. They have commissioned works by UK-based composers, including Louise Drewett, Freya Waley-Cohen and Robert Laidlow. More widely, the quartet have worked closely with Harrison Birtwistle and Andrew Norman, and are working this year with Mark Anthony-Turnage.
