As the only ensemble to ever win both First and Audience Prizes at the Paolo Borciani International String Quartet Competition in Italy (2024), the Fibonacci Quartet are one of Europe's leading young string quartets.
The quartet perform extensively across Europe, with recent highlights including performances at Vienna Musikverein, Berlin Philharmonie, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Frankfurt Alte Oper, Munich Prinzregentheater, Wigmore Hall, Teatro La Fenice, and Philharmonie de Paris, as well as festival appearances at Edinburgh International Festival, Aldeburgh Festival, Verbier Festival, Heidelberger Frühling Festival and Rheingau Music Festival. Building on their success as winners of the prestigious quadrennial Merito String Quartet Award at the Konzerthaus in Vienna, they have been named ECHO Rising Stars for the 2027/28 season, nominated by the Gulbenkian Foundation, Barbican Centre, Musikverein Wien, and Kölner Philharmonie.
They were also recently awarded the Goldman Sachs Award at the Verbier Festival.
Following their selection as Borletti-Buitoni Trust Artists, the 2026/27 season will see more debut performances at halls including Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Vienna Konzerthaus, Flagey Brussels, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Liederhalle Stuttgart, Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival, Festspiele Mecklenburg Vorpommern and Filarmonica di Trento among others, as well as their inaugural year as Associate Artists with Music at Paxton Festival.
The Quartet are prolific prize winners and have received numerous awards including the 2026 Merito String Quartet Award, First Prize in the Royal Overseas League Chamber Music Competition, First Prize in the Cavatina Chamber Music Competition, The RPS Henderson Chamber Ensemble Award, First Prize in the International Triomphe de l'Art Competition in Belgium, The Kirckman Society Award, Audience Prize at the Schiermonnikoog Festival and Special Prizes of the Shostakovich Association in Paris and Peermusic in Hamburg.
In addition to their interpretations of the canon string quartet repertoire, the Fibonaccis are becoming increasingly renowned for their own original arrangements of non classical repertoire. Their wider repertoire of sets and encores has expanded to include jazz, musical theatre, heavy metal and beyond. The quartet also regularly collaborate with contemporary composers including Kaija Saariaho, Helen Grime, Gérard Pesson, Michael Zev Gordon and Fergus Hall. In the upcoming months they will also be announcing their exciting collaboration for the ECHO Rising Stars commissioned piece.
Alongside their busy performing schedule, the quartet teach as Frost Trust Quartet in Residence at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Following their selection to the Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) roster in 2024, they were appointed as Grand Résident ensemble at ProQuartet in Paris for seasons 2025-2027 and Nina Drucker Fellows at the Royal Academy of Music, London.
Originally formed at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, they were Resident Ensemble at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofia in Madrid with Günter Pichler and at the Dutch String Quartet Academy in Amsterdam.
The quartet is generously supported by the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, the Merito String Instrument Trust, the Hattori Foundation, the Cosman Keller Trust, and the Albert and Eugenie Frost Trust.
