Coull Quartet Concerts 2009-2010

The University of Warwick’s Quartet-in-Residence presents five exciting and attractive programmes, each to include a string quartet by Haydn.

It is exactly 200 years since the great man’s death, but his remarkable originality and wit continue to entertain and inspire musicians and audiences alike.

Mozart was an ardent admirer of Haydn’s music, and K.421 was one of six quartets he dedicated to this highly respected composer in 1785. Later, Mozart went on to write his fine string quintets with added viola, and to perform two of these, the Coull Quartet will be joined by Garfield Jackson from the Endellion Quartet, and Ivo-Jan van der Werff, currently professor of viola at the Shepherd School of Music in Houston, Texas. Distinguished pianist Martin Roscoe makes a welcome return to perform the exhilarating quintet by Dvorak.

Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Warwick since 1977, the Coull Quartet has performed and broadcast extensively throughout the UK, the USA and Western Europe, and has toured India, the Far East, Middle East, South America and Australia. In the UK the Quartet has appeared at most of the major music societies and festivals, and is frequently invited to take part in P&O’s ‘Music Festivals at Sea’. The Quartet gives an annual series of recitals at the renowned Warwick Arts Centre, where it is actively involved in the University of Warwick’s flourishing musical life.
