The Endellion is arguably the finest quartet in Britain, playing with poise, true intonation, excellent balance and a beautiful tone. New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians
Formed in 1979, the Endellion is renowned as one of the finest quartets in the world. Over the years, its schedule has included regular tours and concerts on all five continents. Everywhere, the Endellion String Quartet sets the audience ablaze (Daily Telegraph) and captivates concertgoers with a remarkable rapport, playing to each other with a sense almost of discovery, communicating to the audience on a level of unusual intimacy (Guardian).
In Britain, the Endellion String Quartet is regularly broadcast on BBC radio and television; it has appeared at the Proms and has been featured in the week-long programmes Artist of the Week and Artists in Focus.
