The Wihan Quartet is one of the finest string Quartets to emerge from the Great School of Czech. The original Quartet formed in 1985 and have enjoyed a more than impressive international career, having toured across the world in locations in Europe, The Far East, America, Australia and New Zealand. They have also played at a number of prestigious UK venues including the Bridgewater Hall and the South Bank.
