BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Music Center (BMC) welcomes the return of the award-winning Heath Quartet, as part of the BMC Chamber Music Series.
The young British string quartet will appear Sunday, Jan. 31, at 4 p.m., at Centre Congregational Church on Main Street.
The Quartet's Brattleboro performance will feature “String Quartet in F minor, Op. 20, No. 5” by Franz Joseph Haydn, “String Quartet in F major, Op. 135” by Ludwig von Beethoven, and “String Quartet No. 3 in E flat minor, Op. 30” by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky.
In 2013, the Heath Quartet became the first ensemble in 15 years to win the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society's Young Artists Award.
Formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England, the group was awarded a Borletti-Buitoni Special Ensemble Scholarship and, in 2012, won the Ensemble Prize at the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Regular visitors to the United States, the Quartet also recently made its debut in New York at both Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.
