Successive Petworth Festivals have celebrated the extraordinary talents that are annually on display at London’s Royal Academy of Music; this year is no exception. The Scintilla Quartet have devised a programme that focuses on Ravel’s atmospheric String Quartet in F Major, each movement being contrasted with music that reflects on the central mood of Ravel’s work, at the same time helping to paint a picture of the natural world in sound.
Formed in 2024, the Scintilla Quartet that regularly receives coaching from world class musicians such as Anthony Marwood, Marije Johnson and members of the Doric, Castallian and Barbican Quartets. Leader Paloma is a 3rd year undergraduate studying with Professor Philippe Honoré; Ukrainian born Yulia has won multiple ‘young musician’ prizes and awards variously in Ukraine and Croatia; Belfast born violist Theo Hayward has enjoyed success in a number of competitions including the North London Music Festival and the Northern Irish Young Musician of the Year; and in addition to the ‘modern’ cello Cameron Walls has developed interests that extend to historic performance practice playing Baroque cello and viola da gamba.
