The Czigány Quartet was formed in September 2017 by postgraduate students from the Royal Academy of Music. After a short time, they were accepted onto the Royal Academy’s prestigious Davey Posnanski Quartet Scheme, through which they are mentored by Garfield Jackson, violist of the Endellion Quartet. The quartet also receive tutelage from Jon Thorne, Levon Chilingirian, and John Myerscough (of the Oculi Ensemble, Chilingirian and Doric String Quartets respectively).
In October 2017, the quartet were awarded the St Peter’s Chamber Music Prize in association with the Royal Academy, for which they will perform two recitals as part of the Eaton Square Concert Series, 2018. They have performed in masterclasses for internationally renowned musicians such as Krzysztof Chorzelski, of the Belcea Quartet, Hartmut Rohde, Nathaniel Anderson-Frank, and members of the London Haydn Quartet. Further to this, the quartet performed in the masterclass series element of the prestigious Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition in April, where they worked with Miguel da Silva, Raphael Todes and Christoph Richter.
The Czigány Quartet are members of the contemporary music group, the Manson Ensemble at the Royal Academy, and were chosen to perform in a project with American composer Andrew Norman, as well as collaborating with young composers. In light of these successful collaborations, the Czigány Quartet will continue to collaborate with composers and facilitate workshops and concerts in the coming year. In 2018, the quartet performed at the Brundibár Arts Festival, Newcastle, side-by-side project with the Nash Ensemble at the Wigmore Hall, and more recently, the inaugural season Waterperry Opera Festival.
In Summer 2018, the Czigány Quartet were the resident group in Ferrandou, Dordogne, collaborating with the British baritone, David Wilson-Johnson, and performing throughout the region. They were also awarded the role of Fellowship Quartet at Wintergreen Performing Arts, where they toured across Virginia, as well as working and performing with renowned violinist Rachel Barton Pine.
In January 2019, the Czigány Quartet will perform Mendelssohn’s Octet in collaboration with Johannes Meissl at the Musikverein in Vienna. Further highlights of 2019 include a collaboration in Greece with Royal Academy composers as well as a tour of the West Coast of North America.
