The Idomeneo Quartet was formed this year by post-grad students of London's Guildhall School, where they have been awarded a Fellowship. In association with the Park Lane Group, they recently performed a string quartet by Peter Maxwell-Davies in the Festival Hall with the composer in attendance to high acclaim. In September they won the prize of 'most convincing newcomer ensemble' awarded by the Friends of the Jeunesses Musicales, Germany. In October the foursome won the Tunnell Trust Award which entitles them to tour Scotland next year.
