Background
The Navarra String Quartet come to Cratfield for the first time to open our 2010 season. The quartet is already well known in our part of Suffolk, appearing regularly in past winter quartet series in Aldeburgh (in 2006 and 2008), as well as in the new Britten Studio at Snape in October 2009. The quartet won second prize in the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition of 2007, following first prize in the Florence International Chamber Music Competition ‘Vittorio Gui’ in 2005. Like the Heath Quartet, the Navarra is supported by the Young Concert Artists Trust (YCAT).
