Autumn 2006 saw the quartet performing with Katherine Jenkins for the launch of her new CD ‘Serenade’ at the Riverfront Centre in Newport, a performance that was recorded for BBC Wales.

One of their latest sessions was with Singer/Songwriter Paul Steel…

Just come back from a week in Cardiff with Charlie Francis (high llamas, turin brakes, REM)... was ace, broke my real string virginity in good and proper with the wonderful Mavron Quartet, they sounded awesome...

A little while back, the girls were recording for Alex Park’s latest album; ‘Honesty’.

See Alex’s video and hear the single ‘Looking for Water’ at: www.alexparksofficial.com

They enjoyed the opportunity to work with producer Paul Muggleton again, having collaborated with him for Judie Tzuke’s latest album; ‘End of the Beginning’

The album is supplemented with some wonderful strings and I asked how it all came about.

We had this string quartet that we recorded in the garden. Paul was holding this big umbrella over them to keep the sun off, Jamie was running around with a wasp zapper, and in between the trains and planes and building work going on down the road, we just got on and did it, it was just magical... those really are Surrey birds you hear twittering away at the beginning of 'Damage Done'.

After their performance of Mervyn Burtch’s String Quartet No.13, the girls were delighted to be asked by the composer to record the work.

A cd of selected works by Mervyn and featuring the Mavron String Quartet is available to purchase from Ty Cerdd, Wales Millennium Centre.

An ideal performance, full of understanding of the idiom
