Badke Quartet

Founded in 2002 at London's Royal Academy of Music, it regularly performs at leading venues throughout the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe.

[3] The members of the quartet are Charlotte Scott and Emma Parker, violins, Jon Thorne, viola, and Jonathan Byers, cello.

[4] Edward Bhesania of The Strad magazine wrote that "A melt-in-the-ears quality ... made the atonality of the Britten less of a challenge and the Haydn that much sweeter".

[5] A review in de Volkskrant wrote that the group's playing was "of the utmost delicacy.

The response from the hall: applause, stamping feet and enthusiastic whistling".
