The CFBS String Quartet (Kamal Amoko, Mikael Khaliq-Rattray, Yi Geng and Eduard Marcu) were awarded the National Chamber Music Festival Founders’ Trophy on Sunday 13 March. They were competing in the Finals of the Pro Corda National Chamber Music Festival for Schools, hosted at Millfield School, alongside ensembles from schools such as Westminster, Charterhouse, Sherborne, Godolphin and Sevenoaks, among others.
Additionally, two other ensembles from CFBS also reached the semi-final. A string quartet (Elliott Fossiez-Revenu, Oliver Davy, Kai Hoshino and Henry Kernthaler), and a wind ensemble (Oliver Wright, Alexander Whitamore, Samuel Estifanos, Fred Jacques, James Cumpsty and Sam Lewis).
