The Leo Quartet Is a quartet of leading players from the CBSO. Formed in 2004, they have already built a reputation for vibrant performances of diverse repertoire. They appear regularly in the Orchestra?s critically acclaimed lunchtime series, Centrestage, having played works by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven alongside modern masterpieces by composers such as Steve Reich and Jonathan Dove.
. Invitations have also come from from further afield ? March 2007 saw the Leos joined by members of the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra for performances of the Octets by Shostakovich and Mendelssohn in Frankfurt. These were broadcast on German Radio.
2007 saw them perform in their own series at CBSO Centre, including a cycle of Beethoven?s ?Razumovsky? quartets. The Quartet is passionate about taking their music out into the community, and have performed many times as part of the CBSO?s ?On the Road? Scheme, sponsored by Mitchells and Butlers.
