Kreutzer Quartet
The Kreutzer Quartet has forged an enviable reputation as one of Europe’s most dynamic and innovative string quartets. They are the dedicatees of numerous works, and over many years have forged creative partnerships with composers including Sir Michael Tippett, David Matthews, Michael Finnissy, Judith Weir and Hafliði Hallgrímsson.
They have a particularly strong relationship to a cross-section of leading American composers, having collaborated intensively with the great George Rochberg in the last few years of his life, as well as working closely with such figures as Elliott Schwartz, and the prolific symphonist Gloria Coates. They are Artists in Residence at Goldsmiths College and at Wilton’s Music Hall in London. Their work in collaboration with art galleries has garnered much attention and large audiences, working particularly closely with the National Portrait Gallery and Tate Gallery, St Ives.
Members of the Kreutzer Quartet are: Peter Sheppard Skærved, violin — Mihailo Trandafilovski, violin — Morgan Goff, viola — Neil Heyde, cello.
