Life

Griller was born in 1911; his parents were Jewish immigrants, with a shop in the East End of London. Aged 13, he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music.[1]

In 1928 he founded the Griller Quartet,[2] coached initially by the viola player Lionel Tertis. By 1931 the quartet established a reputation in Europe. In January 1931 they made a debut in New York City Hall, and subsequently obtained a contract with NBC. The quartet played classics and contemporary works, and made recordings. In 1931 Griller married Honor Linton; they had a son and daughter.[1]

During the Second World War the quartet gave many concerts for the RAF.[1] In 1949 they became resident quartet at University of California at Berkeley.[2] In 1945 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music (FRAM).

Griller was appointed CBE in 1951. The quartet disbanded in 1963; in 1964 he returned to the Royal Academy of Music, teaching chamber music, and his classes began the careers of a number of successful string quartets including the Alberni Quartet, the Coull Quartet, the Fitzwilliam Quartet and the Lindsay Quartet. He also gave chamber music classes at the Yehudi Menuhin School. In 1981 at the University of York he received an honorary doctorate from the Fitzwilliam Quartet, the resident quartet there.[1]

After retirement from the Royal Academy of Music in 1986, he gave masterclasses at the Royal Northern College of Music, and sat on juries of international competitions. Griller died in London in 1993, aged 82.[1]
