Talland Quartet

Biography

The Talland Quartet formed during their time at the Royal Northern College of Music and are dedicated to sharing their passion for chamber music with others. Named after the serene yet wild Talland Bay in Cornwall, the quartet have won multiple prizes at the RNCM and are this year’s young string quartet in residence at South Downs Summer Music Festival. In 2023/24 they were chosen to participate in the Hans Keller Forum in Cambridge, receiving guidance from Alasdair Beatson, Richard Ireland, and John Myerscough.

The Talland Quartet have performed as a support act for Anna Meredith during Manchester International Festival and have participated in the Delft Chamber Music Atelier, studying under the tutelage of Donald Grant, Pavel Fischer, and Raaf Hekkema. They have also had the privilege of learning from esteemed musicians Petr Prause, Mats Zeterqvist, Sara Bitlloch, and Henk Guittart. The ensemble has performed at concert societies across the North of England, as well as at festivals such as Enys Chamber Music Festival, Mourne Chamber Music Festival, and RNCM's Original Voices Festival.
