Since their formation in 2018, the quartet have had multiple competition successes, in 2021-22 they were \u003cstrong\u003eBritten Pears Young Artists\u003c\/strong\u003e and on their first European tour enjoyed six sold-out concerts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis album of new sounds and ideas is a near-seamless experience for the listener, featuring specially commissioned music from world-renowned British composers.
