| Marmen Quartet |
In 2015 the Marmen Quartet was selected by our founder, violinist Peter Cropper, as the first ensemble to be supported by our new Bridge scheme. Established for musicians at the start of their professional career, the scheme provided the young quartet with coaching and development opportunities for three years.
Since then, the Marmen Quartet has established themselves as a leading quartet, with a worldwide touring schedule and an impressive list of major prizes to their name. For their hotly anticipated return to Sheffield, they’ll be treating us to three of the greatest quartets in the repertoire, showcasing the intuitive brilliance of these four exceptional musicians.
This concert is dedicated to the memory of Lord Menuhin of Stoke d’Abernon OM KBE, an inspirational violinist, conductor and educator whose personal kindness means so much to one of the sponsors.
