Description

The Badke Quartet will be performing during the morning service at St Alfege Church, in the heart of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site on Sunday 2nd May. All are welcome to attend the service which starts at 10am.

Formed in 2002, the Badek Quartet is widely recognised as one of Britain's finest string quartets. Winners of the 1st and audience prizes at the fifth Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in 2007, the players received widespread acclaim for their energetic and vibrant performances.

They have worked with some of the world's greatest sting quartets and all four musicians are graduates of London's Royal Academy of Music and Royal College of Music. They regularly study with Gabor Takács-Nagy at IMS Prussia Cove and during 2006-2008 they travelled once a month for a period of intensive study at the Alban Berg Quartet's chamber music class in Cologne. From 2005 to 2009 the Quartet held the Senior Leverhulme Chamber Music Fellowship at the RAM.

Heather Hohman will be playing the double bass with the Quartet on 2nd May. The Mass will be Mozart Missa Brevis in Bb K275, which is the last Missa brevis he composed and a gem. There will also be an accompanied anthem and the “much loved” Ave verum - Mozart as a communion motet.

St Alfege Church is located in Greenwich Church Street. For more information call 0208 853 0687 or visit www.st-alfege.org for more details.
