The Badke Quartet has worked with some of the world’s greatest string quartets and all four musicians are graduates of London’s Royal Academy of Music and Royal College of Music.
They regularly study with Gabor Takács-Nagy at IMS Prussia Cove and during 2006-08 they travelled once a month for a period of intensive study at the Alban Berg Quartet’s chamber music class in Cologne.
From 2005 to 2009 the Quartet held the Senior Leverhulme Chamber Music Fellowship at the RAM.
