Artist Bio
The 2024/2025 season marked an exciting chapter for the Sonas quartet as they joined the Hans Keller Chamber Studio and the Britten Pears Programme.
Upcoming events include a masterclass with Johannes Meisler, Mendelssohn Octet performance with the Motus Quartet and Mozart Clarinet Quintet Concert with Nick Carpenter.
In 2023, the quartet won first prize in the prestigious St James’ Chamber Prize at the Guildhall School, which led to a performance in Southwark Cathedral in May 2024. That same year, the Quartet was invited to participate in the ‘Sounds of Change’ EU course in Germany, where they had masterclasses with renowned musicians such as Kirill Troussov and Philippe Graffin. Following this, they were invited to perform a series of concerts in Portugal in October 2024.
The quartet performs regularly both in the UK and internationally and have made appearances at festivals such as the Southwell Music Festival, Festival Internacional de Música FIMUV , Cistermúsica, International Music Festival Koblenz, and the City of London Festival of Music. They have also had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed musicians, including pianist Anna Fedorova and oboist Philippe Tondre. They have received guidance from distinguished chamber musicians including Alasdair Tait, David Waterman, Garfield Jackson, Donald Grant, John Myerscough, Simon-Rowland Jones, as well as the Takács Quartet, Jerusalem Quartet, and Confluence Quartet. The 2025/2026 season will include some exciting performances in Portugal, as well as with the Poole Music Society.
