The Fitzwilliam Quartet was founded in Cambridge in 1968. Now in its 54th year it is the longest established British string quartet and there can be few others who can boast so long and so active a performing life. They take their name from Fitzwilliam College, their first rehearsal venue. In the 53 years of their existence there have inevitably been personnel changes, but Alan George, viola, a founder member, remains. Lucy Russell, violin, joined in 1988 and has been leader since 1995. Helen Struach, cello, was a member from 2008-2016 and rejoined in 2021.
Alan George plays a viola made in Cremona in 1740/41, possibly by Guarneri; Lucy Russell’s violin was made in Naples by Gagliano in 1749.
