“Quantrill achieves a splendidly pure and vibrant sound…” – Oxford Times

Lydia Bosworth, née Clatworthy, studied with Fanny Waterman in Leeds from the age of fourteen. After gaining a First Class degree in Mathematics from Newnham College, Cambridge she studied piano accompaniment with Michael Dusek at the Royal Academy of Music, winning prizes and gaining the Diploma of Advanced Studies and the LRAM. Lydia has performed as a concerto soloist, as a repetiteur for the National Youth Music Theatre and as an official accompanist for the National Youth Orchestra.

Lydia has performed on BBC Radio 3 including a recital in the National Portrait Gallery which was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
“Quantrill and Clatworthy have established an easy rapport, and together banish all thoughts of a soloist-accompanist relationship; this is a genuine double act, with both commanding equal attention” – Oxford Times
