Mercury Quartet


The Mercury Quartet was formed at The Royal College of Music to realise a shared passion for Messiaen's Quartet for The End Time. Their first performance of this masterpiece was in the RCM's Recital Hall which involved a collaboration with the artist, Elizabeth Lecourt. This led to a series of concerts both nationally and abroad including Mayfair's Lansdowne Club, St. Martin in the Fields, The Victoria & Albert Museum, The National Gallery and as guest artists at The Dinan Conservatoire de Musique.


They have received artistic direction from the eminent musicians Andrew Ball, the Sacconi Quartet, Richard Hosford, Adrian Levine, Kathron Sturrock, Ashley Wass, Madeleine Mitchell and Julian Jacobson.


The quartet have extensively investigated and performed a wide ranging repertoire (from Rabl and Hindemith to Salter and Ades) for the unusual forces of vl/vc/cl/pf. They are devoted to the interpretation of masterworks of the 20th century, contemporary classical or electronic music and any interdisciplinary artform. Recently they performed a parallel portraits concert of Berg, Takemitsu and Schubert in Holy Trinity Church in Sloane Square as part of the prestigious Chelsea Schubert Festival. The group are Concordia Foundation Artists and future plans include performances of Elliot Carter's 'Triple Duo', Schoenberg's 'Pierrot Lunaire', Ades' 'Catch' and the commision of a new work. The group have also been invited to workshop and perform the compositions of the Doctorate composers at Kings College London.


Most recently the Mercury Quartet took part in and won the 'Battle of the Bands'. This was a competition run by the Nonclassical label in the 'Macbeth' club in East London to find the next big thing in contemporary classical chamber Music. Their prize includes the opportunity to record a disc in 2009 with the label.

Nonclassical is a unique record label, releasing classical music in an unexpected and refreshing way, including genre-busting Remixes along-side original contemporary classical works. Featuring a new generation of performers, composers and promoters who are starting to emerge from the world of contemporary classical music, Nonclassical also hosts a regular series of events, which redefine the rules of classical music - determined that classical music is no longer solely aired within the constraints of the concert hall. This night is part of rediscovering of its relevance, and takes inspiration from baroque, techno, grime, classical, avante garde; presenting it informal & relevant situations.

Hi there!
The Danish composer Per Nørgård's music has been much on my mind the past few years. Arguably the most important now living Scandinavian composer also has a remarkable output for the guitar. I spent a couple of years working with the composer on this repertoire, spanning from 1973 to 2000, in order to embrace the emerging performance practice associated with his work.

I have just uploaded 10 new tracks, all taken from "Tales From the North", my double CD box with the complete guitar works of Danish composer Per Nørgård. Also, in my latest blog you will find recent reviews of this release.

For further reading about the composer, this is an excellent website, with articles by a series of scholars and performers that have dedicated much study to his work:

AROUND THIS HOUSE - HAPPENING IN THE LIBRARY
THURSDAY 16TH JULY 6:30 - 7:30pm
SHOREDITCH LIBRARY, 80 HOXTON STREET


Come and see a library like you have never seen it before! 
Watch the books as they watch you, while actors, dancers, musicians and artists make their own journeys, finding their way around their surreal house of words... 
Sit down, walk around, get as close as you wish to the action, as every corner you turn reveals a new surprise and if you are feeling brave - join in!

Dear friends, I am playing a free gig at the beauteous Union Chapel, Islington this Saturday. The sunlight will be streaming through its vaulted windows as Blank Canvas and Arctic Circle present this gig during the blessed daylight hours of 12-2. And yea shall its hallowed interior be filled with all manner of scraping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Let us pray. And then let us go to the pub.
