Spotlight on: The Nero String Quartet

Nero String Quartet formed in 2001 at the Birmingham Conservatoire where they studied with members from the Maggini and Coull Quartets. In 2007 the quartet were proud to be awarded the Elgar Chamber Music Prize for their performance of Elgar's Piano Quintet.

All four members of  Nero Strings are individually talented musicians having each performed as soloists with the Birmingham Conservatoire String Orchestra and have experience of working with professional orchestras such as the BBC Philharmonic and BBC NOW. The combination of talent, professionalism and musical aptitude drawn from these four artists makes for an excellent string quartet.

Apart from their classical recital work they have a wide repertoire of lighter music, ranging from Bach to Coldplay and suitable for any occasion. Members of The Nero String Quartet have appeared on pop and film music recordings and on luxury cruise ships.

Recently the quartet have performed recitals for the Birmingham Chamber Music Society, Malvern Concert Club Knighton Chamber Music Society, Dudley Chamber Music Society, Bromsgrove Chamber Music Society and at the Young Musicians' Festival. The Nero String Quartet have also performed piano quintets with Alan Schiller and John Humphreys and recently performed in Spain and France.

In January 2004 The Nero String Quartet participated in the String Quartet Festival at the Royal Northern College of Music and have also participated in the London String Quartet Festival twice. Nero also recently featured on the front cover of the educational supplement to Strad magazine.
