For over a decade and a half, the celebrated Tippett Quartet has delighted critics and audiences alike with its animated, virtuosic performances, and its inspired and attractive programming.

The quartet regularly appears at Kings Place, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room at the Southbank Centre and Bridgewater Hall and frequently performs on BBC Radio 3. Alongside a busy touring schedule, the Tippett Quartet pursues a keen interest in educational work with both schools and universities and is currently Ensemble in Residence at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University.
Their impressive catalogue of over twenty releases has not only topped the classical charts but has also entered the pop charts and received universal critical acclaim. The quartet has recorded for NAXOS, EMI Classics, Naxos, Classic FM, Signum Records, Guild, Real World Records, Dutton Epoch and Toccata Classics.
