The Northern String Quartet is a highly acclaimed and award-winning ensemble based in the UK, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025. Renowned for its versatility and musical excellence, the quartet has performed on prestigious platforms such as BBC2, ITV1, and Netflix. Their recordings for BBC Radio have further established them as a leading force in the classical music scene. They return to Threlkeld again this year by popular demand following their much appreciated concert last year. Tickets £20 (£10 under 18).
Members of the quartet are frequently invited to collaborate with some of the world's most respected orchestras, including the BBC Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. In addition to their classical credentials, the Northern String Quartet has gained recognition in the Candlelight & Fever String Quartets circuit, where they perform dynamic renditions of modern pop music across the UK. Their diverse portfolio includes high-profile performances at concerts, weddings, corporate events, and as sought-after session musicians in recording studios. The quartet is also a popular choice for supporting strings on UK artist tours, showcasing their adaptability and wide-ranging expertise.
Notable recent performances include a prominent appearance at the AO Arena in Manchester for BBC One's Big Night of Musicals 2025, a National Lottery Funded event, where they performed alongside a full orchestra to great acclaim. With a repertoire that spans both classical and contemporary genres, the Northern String Quartet remains at the forefront of the UK's vibrant music scene, consistently delivering exceptional performances and contributing to the development of both live and recorded music.
