|
The Alba String Quartet was formed by students of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama in 2003. It comprises four young musicians: Liam Lynch and Stewart Webster (violins), Hannah Craib (viola) and Emily Walker (cello). The Albas have performed throughout the UK, including a week-long residency at St Andrew's University, and concerts at the 2006 St Magnus Festival in Orkney ("......fielded a finely judged account of Debussy's String Quartet in G minor with real musical skill"). They have recorded for the BBC, and broadcast a New Year concert on local Hungarian television. They have performed to, among others, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Bill Gates and Tony Blair. The Albas were the inaugural recipients of the EMS two-year scholarship.
