THE Sorrel Quartet return to repeat their triumphant performance two years ago when they come to the Artrix on Friday, February 17.

The gifted foursome continues Bromsgrove Concerts' celebrations of the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth.

The group received rave reviews when they performed in Bromsgrove 2004.

Formed in 1987, the Sorrel Quartet is now recognised as one of the finest quartets in Britain.

The group is well known for the spontaneity, fiery commitment and powerful atmosphere it brings to its performances.

The group has also recorded highly praised CDs of Schubert, Mendelssohn, and all the major works of Britten and Carwithen.

A busy concert and broadcasting schedule has taken the Quartet to all of the major venues and festivals in Britain including recent live recitals for BBC Radio 3 from Cheltenham and Belfast.

Abroad, the Quartet has toured throughout Europe, North and South America, and Australia.

Composers Elena Firsova, Geoffrey Palmer, John Pickard and Simon Rowland-Jones have all written music for the Quartet.

Tickets cost between £4.50 and £13 and can be bought by calling 01905 611427.
