The quartet had originally announced to their audiences in London and Cambridge that last season (2019-20) would be their last. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, however, those farewell concerts could not take place. After reflecting on whether to re-assemble for farewell concerts, the group concluded that the gap between their last performance and an unknown date date in the future when they might be able to perform to a live audience was too great. So they have decided to hang up their bows now.
