"The Endellion is arguably the finest quartet in Britain, playing with poise, true intonation, excellent balance and a beautiful tone". The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians

Formed in 1979, the Endellion String Quartet is renowned as one of the finest quartets in the world. Over the years, its schedule has included regular tours of North and South America and concerts in Australasia, the Far East, the Middle East, South Africa and every West European country. Everywhere, the Endellion String Quartet  ‘sets the audience ablaze’ (Daily Telegraph) and ‘captivates concertgoers with a remarkable rapport, playing to each other with a sense almost of discovery, communicating to the audience on a level of unusual intimacy’ (Guardian).   

The Endellion String Quartet has been Quartet in Residence at Cambridge University since October 1992, and has undertaken three short-term residencies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA. Since 2001 it has been Associate Quartet of the Royal Northern College of Music and in 2003 began its Residency here at The Venue, Leeds.
