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 currently continuing their studies at the college on the Quartet Studio programme. They were the Young String Quartet in Residence at South Downs Summer Music Festival in 2025 and look forward to attending West Cork Music Festival in 2026 as Young Artists.  

The Quartet enjoy a diverse range of projects, from supporting Anna Meredith at Manchester International Festival to delivering primary school workshops in the North of England. They are keen to support the creation of new music and are currently working on a commission with composer and drummer Eden Longson, which has been generously supported by the Nicholas Boas Trust.

​They have performed at concert societies and festivals across the UK such as Manchester Middays and Lake District Music, and have enjoyed trips further afield for the Danish String Quartet Academy and Delft Chamber Music Atelier.​The Quartet have been fortunate to study with esteemed musicians such as Donald Grant, Pavel Fischer, Richard Ireland, Cecily Ward, Tim Frederiksen and John Myerscough.
