Kallos String Quartet

Lucy Hewson (violin), Ruth O’Shea (violin), Michelle Falcon (viola), Matthew Greswell (cello)

The Kallos Quartet was formed in 2022, with four talented string musicians who have known and worked with each other for over 20 years.  All are highly experienced chamber musicians with busy freelance careers, Lucy and Matthew are members of the Pump Room Trio, Bath who perform daily in the Georgian Pump Room. Ruth performs a series of much-loved monthly Café Concerts with Trio Paradis across the South West, and Michelle can regularly be found participating in chamber music as far away as the Czech Republic.

Michelle and Ruth founded and run Bath Strings Academy, which since 2016 has brought high quality musical experiences to musicians of all levels and ages in Bath and the South West. The quartet are coaches on the innovative weekly chamber music programme for children and run chamber music courses for adults.

For our concert they are performing a wonderful selection of music – from the classical lyricism of Fanny Mendelssohn’s seldom heard String Quartet, the austere hypnotic world of Arvo Pärt and the exotic musical flavours of Maurice Ravel, to the romantic world of 1930’s classics by Cole Porter and Manning Sherwin, love themes from films and musicals inspired by Romeo and Juliet and joyous, exuberant re-imaginings of Scandinavian folk tunes. The concert promises to be a real feast for the senses.
