Mozart Quartet No 21 in D major K. 575
Bridge Three Idylls
Debussy Quartet in G minor
The Fibonacci Quartet are rising stars of the chamber music scene and already building a flourishing performing career across Europe. In 2024, they joined the prestigious Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) and also teach as Quartet in Residence at the Royal Welsh College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music.
Their programme will open with Mozart's quartet in D major which is the first of his so called Prussian quartets dedicated to the King of Prussia. This work is classical in style and is considered to be similar in style to those of Haydn. Bridge's Three Idylls for string quartet follow. Written in 1906, these pieces explore a variety of styles concluding with the lively Allegro con Moto.
Debussy's iconic quartet in G minor comprises the whole of the second half of this concert. The composer's only work for this format had a mixed reception when it was premiered in Paris in 1893 but has subsequently deservedly become a popular and frequently performed stalwart of the string quartet repertoire with its powerful yet engaging melodies.

Musikverein, Vienna Konzerthaus, Berlin Philharmonie, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Frankfurt Alte Oper, Wigmore Hall, Munich
Prinzregententheater and Philharmonie de Paris, as well as festival appearances at Edinburgh International Festival, Aldeburgh Festival, Heidelberger Frühling Festival and Bad Tölz Winners Summit.
The Fibonacci Quartet are prolific prize winners and have received numerous awards including the 2026 Merito String Quartet Award, First Prize in the Royal Overseas League Chamber Music Competition, First Prize in the Cavatina Chamber Music Competition, The RPS Henderson Chamber Ensemble Award, First Prize in the International Triomphe de l’Art Competition in Belgium, The Kirckman Society Award, Audience Prize at the Schiermonnikoog Festival and Special Prizes of the Shostakovich Association in Paris and Peermusic in Hamburg.
Alongside their busy performing schedule, the quartet teach as Quartet in Residence at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, as well as at the Royal Academy of Music in their position as Nina Drucker Fellows. Following their selection to the Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) roster in 2024, they were appointed as Grand Résident ensemble at ProQuartet in Paris for seasons 2025-2027 and named as Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship Artists in March 2026.
Originally formed at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, they were Resident Ensemble at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofia in Madrid with Günter Pichler and at the Dutch String Quartet Academy in Amsterdam. Alongside their love for the canon string quartet repertoire, Fibonaccis are becoming increasingly renowned for their own original arrangements of non classical repertoire. Their two-year Janacek project paired both of Janacek's quartets with arrangements of Moravian
folk songs, and their wider repertoire of sets and encores has expanded to include jazz, musical theatre, heavy metal and beyond. The quartet regularly collaborate with contemporary composers including Kaija Saariaho, Helen Grime, Gérard Pesson, and YCAT Composer Fellow 2025/26 Fergus Hall.
The quartet is generously supported by the Hattori Foundation, the Cosman Keller Trust, The
Frost Trust and Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre in Paris.
