Anna Pring
Anna graduated from Birmingham Conservatoire in 2006 studying Violin with Rimma Sushaskaya. During her time there she received intensive string quartet coaching and masterclasses, and was part of a group of musicians selected to perform in Leon, France as part of a three cities orchestra tour. After graduating, Anna went on to study for a Primary PGCE and is currently Head of Strings for Hampshire Music Service.
As well as teaching and performing with the string quartet, Anna regularly plays in orchestras, most recently with the newly formed professional orchestra, the Nova Foresta classical players. She has played in many top venues in the country, including the Royal Albert Hall and Festival Hall in London and Symphony Hall, Birmingham.
Ruth McGibben
Ruth currently works as a violin and viola teacher at Portsmouth Grammar School and enjoys a busy career as a freelance viola player. She is a regular member of Southern Pro Musica and is in much demand as a chamber musician.
Sophie Hurr
Having always been interested in both Music and Art, Sophie pursued a career in the arts, graduating from Edinburgh University and College of Art with a MA in Fine Art.
Music has nevertheless remained a big part of her life, performing and recording in a wide range of ensembles, styles and contexts; from playing with different choirs and orchestras, to smaller group improvisation as well as recording for various different artists and groups.
Sophie now enjoys performing classical music regularly with the wedding string quartet, as well as playing and recording original work in a contemporary acoustic group, Red Campion, their wide range of performances including appearing live on BBC radio and television. As well as playing in various guises, she is now both a teacher of art in a sixth form college and a practising artist herself.
