The Heath Quartet was formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music. They were selected for representation by YCAT, awarded a Borletti-Buitoni Special Ensemble Scholarship and in 2012 won the Ensemble Prize at the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern where they are now regular visitors. In 2016 they won the Gramophone Chamber Award for their recording of the complete string quartets of Sir Michael Tippett, and in May 2013 became the first ensemble in fifteen years to win the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society’s Young Artists Award.
Their programme includes Ravel’s only string quartet – one of the most widely performed chamber works and often considered to be his first masterpiece – and Tippett’s second quartet, notable for its abundant lyricism and lithe, dancing rhythms.
