The Coull Quartet is an English string quartet that was founded at the Royal Academy of Music, London in 1974.[1]
The Coull Quartet premiered some of the later string quartets by the composer Robert Simpson, who before his retirement and emigration to the Republic of Ireland lived close to the University of Warwick where the Coull Quartet have been quartet-in-residence since 1977. They also gave the modern premiere of Anton Reicha's String Quartet in G Major, Opus 48 No.2 (1802) at the 2003 Cambridge Music Festival.
The Quartet regularly played in the garden of Great Comp in Kent during summer classical music festivals.[2] They played on September 5, 12 and 18 in 2010 (after the death of Roderick Cameron, founder of Great Comp Garden).[3]
