Winner of the St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition 2019, the Brompton Quartet is known for its engaging and dynamic performances. Recent highlights include a debut at the Wigmore Hall, an appearance on BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’ with violist Lawrence Power, and being selected as a Park Lane Group Artist. The Quartet has performed at prestigious venues such as Kings Place, Conway Hall, and St Martin-in-the-Fields. Composed of musicians from Slovenia, South Korea, Poland, and the UK, Maja Horvat, Mee-Hyun Esther Park, Kinga Wojdalska and Wallis Power met at the Royal College of Music and soon established themselves as a young, exciting ensemble. The Quartet explore a diverse range of repertoire, from the Baroque era to works of the present day. Their contemporary repertoire includes pieces by Roxanna Panufnik and Richard Ayres. They have received guidance from renowned artists such as Alfred Brendel, Alina Ibragimova, Heinz Hollinger, Richard Lester, and members of the Pavel Haas and Marmen Quartets. As a featured Making Music Artist for 2020-21, the Quartet recently completed a series of recitals for music societies around the UK, including Darlington, Wallingford, and Marlow last year and took part in Lawrence Power’s festival, the West Wycombe Chamber Music Festival. Future engagements for the quartet includes a residency at St Endellion Festival this Easter and a recital at Conway Hall.
