NICK ROBERTS is the cellist of the Coull Quartet, which has been the Quartet-in-residence at the University of Warwick since 1977 and which has performed and broadcast throughout Europe, the USA and the Far East. He studied with Joan Dickson and Amaryllis Fleming at the Royal College of Music and enjoyed a hugely varied career encompassing chamber music, chamber orchestras, contemporary music groups and recording for film and TV, before joining the Coull Quartet in 2000. He has recorded for the Black Box label with both the Bernard Roberts Piano Trio and the Feinstein Ensemble and now records for SOMM with the Coull Quartet.

The day will hold some ensemble playing, a masterclass (for 3 or 4 volunteers), technical exercises and a detailed Q&A session where Nick hopes to be able to cover all sorts of topics including how to get the most from practice and as many more thorny issues as requested! The atmosphere will be relaxed and informal
