The Anwoth Quartet Jane, Wilson, Michael and David are The Anwoth Quartet, Dumfries and Galloway’s resident professional string quartet. They studied either at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow (now the Royal Scottish Conservatoire), or the Guildhall School of Music in London. For Jane, Wilson and Michael, violins and viola, this was followed by long and varied professional careers including playing in the BBC SSO, Scottish Opera, and (insert others). For David, cello, a career in the NHS was combined with an active and varied musical life. Their combined talents and musical experience guarantee passionate and energetic performances of all that they play from their varied and eclectic repertoire. The Anwoth Quartet can provide live music for weddings, parties or corporate functions. The music will be tailored to your tastes and requirements, and can range from classical to arrangements of contemporary popular music. We will give your event something special

Perfect in every way, excellent musicians, with very varied and fun repertoire. They made the evening really special and I would definitely book them again.

I just wanted to thank you and others for a splendid concert last evening in Broughton House. The wonderful blend of well-known tunes with less-familiar ones worked extremely well making for a most enjoyable concert. The smiles on the faces of those attending was testimony to how much they all enjoyed the event, especially the visitors who had just chanced on the opportunity to attend
