Peter Banks
Peter is the quartet manager and also plays violin and viola with the quartet. He has been playing violin since he was four and now plays on an instrument made by his grandmother, from a tree cut down in his grandparents garden, used as benches at his parents wedding. He switched to viola when his grandmother made one for him and his grandfather made his bow!
Peter has recently performed the Tellemann Viola Concerto with the Bangor Baroque Soloists in Bangor Cathedral and will be performing the Mozart G-Major Violin Concerto with the University Symphony Orchestra. Outside of mainstream classical music Peter is a session violinist and works reguarly for Welsh (Folk / Acoustic / Rock) singer songwriter Sarah Louise as well as having worked with many other artists with welsh language record company “Sain” (welsh for sound) future projects include working with BUSQ and Yucatan.
Peter is the only member not studying music, and is infact at Bangor University, reading Chemistry. Although his friends are convinced that he spends more time in the music dept than blowing things up!!
