| The Becker Quartet have been playing together since 1988 in the South East of England. Violins John Perkins and George Simpson, Viola Jane Browne and Cello John Cullis are all successful musicians with careers in leading orchestras and bands across Europe. The name 'Becker' was taken as a tribute to a fellow musician and violinist Lew Becker who died only a few months before the quartet formed in 1988. Lew's love of music and his joy at seeing chamber music performed live was an inspiration to all who new him, and we believe he would have been very proud to be associated with a very active chamber group. Although all four quartet members are busy with orchestral, recording, teaching and writing careers, they maintain an annual series of concerts in Sandwich where they are 'Musicians in Residence'. These highly popular concerts are regularly augmented by guest performers, some of whom are listed on the performers page in this site. The Becker also performs as a larger orchestra and again two major concerts are given each year in St Mary's Church Sandwich as part of their summer season. Other events include music festivals, weddings and corporate functions. |
