Tokyo String Quartet

The Tokyo String Quartet (東京クヮルテット?) is an international string quartet.
The group formed in 1969 at the Juilliard School of Music. The founding members attended the Toho Gakuen School of Music[1] in Tokyo, where they studied with Professor Hideo Saito. Soon after its formation the Quartet won First Prizes at the Coleman Competition, the Munich Competition and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions. This resulted in a recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon.

Skinny Lister

Skinny Lister write beautiful tunes and play them to attentive, sensitive audiences alongside a family of musicians brought together in London town by chance, circumstance and friendship. The tunes that they play are evocative, romantic and set against the picturesque backdrop of the English countryside. Storm clouds, warming summers, playfulness and crushing heartbreak inhabit the lyrics and excite strong emotions in the listener.
