Finalists in the 2009 Royal Overseas League competition and winners of the Tunnell Trust Award 2010/2011, the Piatti String Quartet are fast emerging as the UK's leading young string quartet. Having been chosen for the Park Lane Group young artist series, the Piatti Quartet had their Purcell room debut in October 2009 as part of the Peter Maxwell Davis 'Naxos' quartet series and returned to the Purcell room again in January 2010.
The Quartet has previously played throughout the UK at various venues and festivals including the Royal Festival Hall, St Martins in the Fields, St James Piccadilly and the National Gallery. The Quartet members are all past and current award-winning students from the Royal College of Music and Royal Academy of Music and have studied with members of the Amadeus Quartet, Chilingirian Quartet, Alban Berg Quartet, Keller Quartet, Maggini Quartet, Vellinger Quartet, Brodsky Quartet, Artis Quartet and with Jon Thorne. In 2009 they received the MBF Ensemble Award to attend the International Sommerakademie Prague/Vienna/Budapest where they performed extensively throughout Austria in venues including Brahms House and the Schloss Rothschild castle.
The Quartet have a growing empathy for English Music which has led to the world premier recording of the Hurlstone "Fantasie" for string quartet in 2006 and they are continuously looking to expand their English repertoire.
