The Heath Quartet formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music. They were selected for representation by YCAT, won the 2008 TROMP competition, and the 2012 Ensemble Prize at the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where they are now regular visitors. In 2016 they won the GRAMOPHONE Chamber Award for their recording of the Tippett quartets, and in May 2013 became the first ensemble in fifteen years to win the prestigious RPS Young Artists Award. Their Tippett album was followed by two discs recorded for Harmonia Mundi/PIAS and part-funded by a BBT Special Ensemble Scholarship featuring Tchaikovsky’s first and third quartets (BBC Radio 3 Disc of the Week) and the complete Bartók quartets (2017 Limelight Chamber Music Award; nominated for 2018 GRAMOPHONE Chamber Award). Their most recent release on Signum Records with Carolyn Sampson features works by Berg, Webern and Schoenberg.
