Continuo Connect — Profile // London Haydn Quartet

One of the world’s leading period instrument string quartets, the London Haydn Quartet was born out of a passion for Haydn.

Following the completion of this 16 year Haydn project, the first volume of Beethoven Quartets will be recorded in the Autumn of 2023.

The quartet has given many recitals at venues such as London's Wigmore Hall, The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, New York's Carnegie Hall, Yamaha and Asahi Halls in Tokyo, the Sydney Opera House and at festivals including Cheltenham, Utrecht, Esterhaza, Bath Mozartfest, Lyon and Granada.
