Cornwall Music - The Aston String Quartet

Aston String Quartet

"The landscape of Cornwall, the sea, the folklore and the lifestyle here are all tremendous influences on our work and have been for many other composers" says Sue. The Aston String Quartet is synonymous with exciting new musical ventures, and showcases the talents of new composers and excellent musicians".

The Quartet is more than a platform for Sue's classical compositions, as it also enables her to realise her dream of bringing together music from a variety of different backgrounds many of them with the common theme of music which has been inspired by the landscape.

Sue Aston's solo CDs and DVDs have been described as 'Celtic music for the classically appreciative' by Cornish World Editor Nigel Pengelly and her videos are regularly played on SKY TV.
