Formed in September 2024 at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, the Vita Quartet brings together four dynamic postgraduate musicians: Tatyana Wearen, Non Morgan, Lucy Varney, and Eleonora Savvidou. United by their shared passion for storytelling through music, the quartet is quickly establishing itself as an exciting new voice in the chamber music scene.
In their inaugural year, the ensemble was awarded the Bridgewood & Neitzert Chamber Music Prize, the highest chamber music accolade at RWCMD, in recognition of their outstanding ensemble skills and compelling performances. They are very grateful to receive coaching from the internationally acclaimed Carducci and Fibonacci Quartets and were selected for the Carducci Mentorship Programme for the 2025-26 season.
The quartet was recently selected for the Centre of Ensemble Excellence at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London for 2026–27, receiving a full scholarship kindly supported by Philip Carne.
With grateful thanks
Evening performances at the Queen's House by Trinity Laban are kindly supported by The Rainbow Dickinson Trust.
The Rainbow Dickinson Trust was established in the late 1990s by Dr Bernarr Rainbow, the leading authority on music education, and Professor Peter Dickinson, the composer, pianist, author and academic. The aim of the Trust is to advance and promote education in music.
Under Peter Dickinson’s leadership, the Trust has sponsored publications and lectures, and made hundreds of grants to musical endeavours, particularly those for young performers and audiences. Today the Trust continues to support a wide range of music education work, in line with the interests and achievements of its founders.
Both founders of the Trust had strong connections with Trinity Laban (formerly Trinity College of Music) and took a close interest in its work.
