We’re very sad to report that after playing with the quartet for the last four years John has decided to move on to pursue other musical opportunities. We’re sorry to see him go, but excited to see what he does next. He’s still in the Cambridge area so we’ll undoubtedly be bumping into him from ...
We’ve not posted anything on here for a while, but the quartet have been far from quiet this year, in fact it’s been one of the busiest (and slightly chaotic) periods we’ve ever had. The quartet family expanded in two linked ways this year. Carmen took a break from the quartet for a few months ...
The quartet have been taking on a larger number of church concerts recently with performaces last year in Haslingfield and Barton and we were delighted to be invited to play at Dry Drayton which was a venue none of us had been to before. The church in Dry Drayton as it turns out is a ...
The quartet were very happy to be invited back to Barton church to present another concert to help raise money for the church. It’s always nice to do some more formal concerts as it gives us a chance to pull out some of the more extravagant parts of our repertoire which don’t work well as ...
It’s been a while since we’ve added an update to these pages, but the quartet haven’t been resting – we’ve had a busy and productive summer. As usual, our summer activities have been a varied mix of mostly outdoor activities. We started off by returning to Maddingly Hall to play for the Arthur Rank Hospice ...
The quartet have a long standing relationship with the village of Little Wilbraham. We have played at their summer fair for the last few years and have said for a while that it would be good to find an excuse to do a more formal event in the village. After last summer’s fair we were ...
A slightly truncated Christmas for the quartet this year as all of the group were playing in the CAT theatre company’s production of the Wizard of Oz (with Maria as the MD), but as we had a few new Christmas arrangements (again, mostly courtesy of Maria) we couldn’t go through the season without playing them ...
After a busy summer one of the things left on the quartet’s todo list for 2014 was to arrange another recording session. We hadn’t produced any recordings since John joined the quartet so we wanted to have some new material which better represented our current line up. We had a gap in our schedules in ...
The quartet are always up for trying something different. After previous forays into accompanying djembe drumming, or providing background music for a blood-soaked classical play we recently took on a new challenge – shadow puppetry! A few months ago we acquired a sax quartet arrangement of Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” where each of the ...
It’s May ball time again! For the last few years the quartet have been fortunate enough to play at a number of different college events, and this year we visited some new venues as we were booked to play at three May balls during May week. We started the week playing at Newnham college. We ...
