ABOUT CIRRUS
Martin Smith - Suzanne Loze - Morgan Goff - David Burrowes
The members of the Cirrus String Quartet are all leading solo and chamber music performers, and between them, they have worked with most of the top chamber orchestras in Great Britain.
Amongst their recordings are music for strings and wind by Mozart, string quintets by Mozart and Schubert, Tchaikovsky’s sextet ‘Souvenir de Florence’, the two quartets of Leoš Janáček and in 2022, a CD of quartets by W.H. Reed and a recording of the Clarinet Quintet by Percy Miles with John Bradbury, both on the MPR label.
In addition to its concert schedule, Cirrus has been recorded by BBC radio, appeared on ITV, and performed at the Wigmore Hall.
The Cirrus Quartet is built not only on a shared love for the amazing music written for this combination but also on the sheer exhilaration the four members of the quartet find in working together.
