BUTTER QUARTET

A few words

ABOUT

Welcome to our website! We are the Butter Quartet, and we perform early string quartet repertoire on original instruments, with style. Read more about us, or contact us by email (found below). And keep “spreading” the love!

THE BUTTERS

The Butter Quartet consists of four musicians brought together by their studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and their mutual love of historical performance practice of string quartet repertoire. The members are violinists Anna Jane Lester and Chloe Prendergast, violist Isabel Franenberg, and cellist Evan Buttar.
