Kerenza: Kerenza Peacock began playing the violin in Ipswich at the age of three. She graduated with First Class Honours from the Royal Academy of Music in 2002. Kerenza has led the Pavao String Quartet ( “Exceptionally talented” BBC Music Magazine) for eleven years with extensive UK recital tours. They have also played extensively abroad, including in China, Oman, Syria, the USA, and an arc of European cities from Lisbon to Warsaw. The Quartet released four CDs, including Elgar and Bax String Quartets, (‘intoxicating warmth and emotional spontaneity’: Strad Magazine; ‘5 stars’: The FT) As well as playing in the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia and BBC Concert Orchestra, Kerenza has often led the orchestras for West End shows and played the solo in ‘Fiddler on the Roof’. She has performed with John Lill and with singers as diverse as Sir Willard White, Andrew Kennedy, Elaine Paige, Hayley Westenra, Rod Stewart (at Buckingham Palace), the Spice Girls, Noel Gallagher and Sir Paul McCartney. She is in demand as a session player in London, and records for TV and film (and has even played on the X-Factor!) In any spare moment, she knits.
