Brodsky Quartet

Brodsky Quartet

The Brodsky Quartet is a British string quartet, in existence since 1972, though only Ian Belton and Jacqueline Thomas are original members. In addition to performing classical music, and in particular the classic string quartet repertoire of Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Bartok and Shostakovich, they have collaborated with such rock and pop figures as Björk, Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney. They perform the 'Strings' on Björk's 'Family Tree' collection.

The quartet performs standing up. Jacqueline Thomas has her cello fitted with an extra-long spike and she uses a small stool under her left foot so that the instrument can rest against her bent knee.

In May 1998 the Brodsky Quartet was presented with a Royal Philharmonic Society Award for an outstanding contribution to the world of music.
