In September 2011 the Chiaroscuro Quartet released its debut CD of music by Mozart and Schubert to critical acclaim. The disc was awarded a ‘Choc de l’Année’ by the French music magazine Classica and was highly praised by Télérama and the Strad magazine. It was chosen as 'Chamber Choice' in the December 2011 issue of BBC Music Magazine which described the playing as “period-instrument playing of consummate virtuosity”.

Future engagements for the Quartet include a return to Aix-en-Provence followed by a series of concerts throughout Sweden. They will return to the UK for a series of concerts broadcast on BBC Radio 3, their Edinburgh Festival debut and appearances at venues across London.

Formed in 2005, the Chiaroscuro Quartet performs music of the Classical era on period instruments informed by a historical approach. Recent UK concert highlights include appearances at Wigmore Hall in London, York Early Music Centre, The Sage Gateshead (recorded for BBC Radio 3) and a residency in Aldeburgh.
