The Belcea Quartet is regarded as one of today's most impressive string quartets. They combine high-profile engagements in the world's leading concert halls, with residencies at Vienna Konzerthaus with the Artemis Quartet since 2010, and at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama. The quartet recently created their own Trust to support and inspire young quartets, alongside commissioning works from composers. In today's concert they perform one of Beethoven String Trios and Britten's Third String Quartet. The concert was recorded in the Mozart Hall, Schwetzingen as part of this year's Schwetzingen Festival.
