About this concert

Tamsin Waley-Cohen performed outstandingly in the 2010 PLG Young Artists New Year Series. The Times: '[She] held us rapt with her daring and undaunted performances…' The Strad: '… blisteringly fine reading … played with a strength of feeling and expression … impeccable command and agility …'.

The Piatti String Quartet had equal success in this serie, as well as playing magnificently in the PLG Maxwell Davies 75th Naxos String Quartet Concerts. The quartet also won the first St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition. Musical Pointers: 'The Piattis played vibrantly.' The Times: '…poise, blended tone and general lustre …'
