The award goes to a group willing to embrace a wide repertoire with utter commitment; to dedicate preparation time to their outstanding performances and to develop new audiences with care. All this, together with the enterprise and breadth of their Summer Music Festival in Cornwall, made 2006 a bold and busy year for the Dante Quartet.
