About the artist Belcea Qt

The Belcea Qt has gained an enviable reputation as one of the leading quartets of the new generation. They continue to take the British and international chamber music circuit by storm, consistently receiving critical acclaim for their performances. The Quartet was established at the Royal College of Music in 1994, where they were coached by the Chilingirian Qt, Simon Rowland-Jones and the Amadeus Qt. From 1997 to 2000, they were represented by Young Concert Artists Trust in London, during which time they were coached by the Alban Berg Qt, won first prize at both the Osaka and Bordeaux International String Quartet Competitions in 1999 and represented Great Britain in the European Concert Halls Organisation ‘Rising Stars’ series for the 1999/2000 season. From 1999 to 2001 the Belcea Qt was one of the selected artists for the BBC Radio 3 ‘New Generations’ scheme and they received the Chamber Music Award of the Royal Philharmonic Society in both 2001 and 2003. They are the Associate Ensemble at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where they also hold a teaching position. They are also Quartet in Residence at the Atheneum Concert Hall in Bucharest, supported by the Romanian Cultural Institute. The Belcea Qt has an exclusive recording contract with EMI Classics and won the Gramophone Award for best debut recording in 2001.
