The Fibonacci Sequence was founded in 1994 by its artistic director, pianist Kathron Sturrock. Now well established as one of the foremost chamber ensembles in Britain, it is distinguished by the quality and high profile of its players and by the imagination and variety of its programming.
The Fibonacci Sequence has a busy recording schedule and has commissioned a number of works from distinguished composers including, most recently, Graham Fitkin for a work based on the configuration of the Dohnanyi Sextet.

'...no praise can be too high for the Fibonacci Sequence's polished and dashingly committed performances...'
