Oxshott & Cobham Music Society - Piatti Quartet

Resident Quartet at Kings Place, London, the distinguished Piatti Quartet are widely renowned for their ‘profound music making’ (The Strad) and their ‘lyrical warmth’ (BBC Music Magazine). Since their prizewinning performances at the 2015 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition, they have performed all over the world with numerous international broadcasts.

The Piattis are famed for their diverse programming and passionate interpretations across the spectrum of quartet writing, with commissions and recordings of some of the most major and impressive works added to the quartet canon in recent years.

Since their inception they have always had projects in the recording studio, with critically-acclaimed releases through a multitude of classical music's top recording labels. Their wide ranging discography and repertoire is thanks to their enthusiasm and curiosity in collaborating with a broad range of artists, including some of the most recognisable names in classical music. Their recordings have received many accolades.

Contemporary music has been ever present in their repertoire and leaving a legacy to the quartet genre through commissions is one of the quartet’s central tenets. They have also had a focus on quartet music that has been undiscovered or deserves to be better known, by less well known and familiar composers.

Recent highlights include the quartet’s ongoing residency at Kings Place alongside performances at Brighton Festival, Buxton Festival, Wigmore Hall, and Oxford International Song Festival. Events for the 25/26 season onwards have involved a return to Amsterdam, tours of Ireland and South America, and album releases on Signum Classics, Rubicon, and Chandos Records.
