Frith Piano Quartet

BENJAMIN FRITH, piano - ROBERT HEARD, violin
LOUISE WILLIAMS, viola - RICHARD JENKINSON, 'cello

The Frith Piano Quartet was formed in 2001 by the four players named above, all of whom are soloists in the own right but enjoy playing in chamber music with colleagues of a like mind to themselves.

Benjamin Frith enjoys a career playing in chamber music groups, as soloist with orchestras and as a piano recital soloist. He is proud to put his name to this quartet of spectacularly gifted players

Robert Heard is co-leader of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestras and maintains a busy life style touring the world with the orchestra and whenever possible  playing all over the country to fulfil his love of chamber music.

Louise Williams has been a free lance solo viola player for quite a while and has played with many other groups similar to this one and says that she has found her niche playing with quartet of her equally talented colleagues.

Richard Jenkinson also a lead player with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra plays solo ‘cello recitals in various places up and down the country, in duos with Benjamin Frith and in the string quartet, the Pro Musica, which he founded in 1999.
