Rowan Bell has performed as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral leader across Europe and in many of the UK’s most prestigious concert venues. As first violin in the Santiago Quartet, he has broadcast on BBC Radio 3, 4, and 6 as well as Classic FM. The quartet’s recent album ’Language of the Heart’, based around Piazzolla’s Four Seasons, made it into the top ten in the Classic FM charts as well as going straight to number three in the Specialist Classical Charts.
As a past member of the Vardanyan Quartet, Rowan was a Park Lane Group Young Artist and has performed as a chamber musician with international artists including Jennifer Pike, Martin Frost, Kathryn Stott, Philip Higham, Levon Chiliingirian, Simon Rowland-Jones and Arisa Fugita. Rowan is currently Principal 2nd Violin with the Arensky Chamber Orchestra.
Rowan grew up in the Scottish Borders, beginning violin lessons at the age of six. He subsequently became leader of the National Scottish Youth Orchestra and Camerata Scotland, before gaining BMus and MMus degrees as a Douglas Downie Scholar at the Royal College of Music studying under Professor Dona Lee Croft. Rowan is a co-founder of The Lost Estate, which produces large scale events fusing music, dance and drama with immersive sets, storytelling, food and drink. With ten thousand attendees and over fifty sold-out events in 2018, The Lost Estate is one of London’s fastest growing arts sector startups.
Sophie Warwick studied as a scholar at the Royal College of Music, gaining an undergraduate degree with first-class honours and a Masters degree with distinction. Whilst at the RCM she studied with Vanessa Latarche, Nigel Clayton, Gordon Fergus-Thompson and Yonty Solomon, as well as performing in masterclasses with artists including Claude Frank, Dimitri Alexeev, Stephen Savage, Susan Tomes and Gordan Nikolic. Her studies were generously supported by the Martin Musical Scholarship Fund and the Marylebone Educational Foundation, as well as a Russell Gander Award and a NOSWAD Charity Study Award.
Performing throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and America, Sophie has collaborated as a chamber musician with the Doric String Quartet, Arensky Chamber Orchestra Soloists, Vardanyan Quartet, Dalriada Ensemble and the Sollertinsky Piano Trio (founder member), as well as members of the renowned Tippet Quartet. Since making her concerto debut at the age of 18 she has performed as soloist with orchestras including Guildford Symphony Orchestra, RCM Sinfonietta, Capriol Chamber Orchestra and the RCM Junior Department Wind Orchestra.
The recipient of many awards, Sophie was selected as a finalist in the prestigious Chappell Medal competition at the RCM as well as twice being awarded the Gordon Brown Trophy and named the Phillips Young Musician of the Year. She is also committed to outreach and education work having worked under the auspices of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust and the Live Music Now scheme: a programme set up by Yehudi Menuhin and Ian Stoutzker to ‘benefit those who are otherwise excluded from the joy of experiencing live music’.
