Edinburgh Quartet
**Edinburgh Quartet**
A staple of Scotland’s classical scene, the Edinburgh Quartet has been enchanting audiences since their formation in the mid-20th century. Based in—you guessed it—Edinburgh, this versatile string quartet balances rich traditions with bold explorations of contemporary works. They’re known for championing composers like Hans Gál (whose complete quartets they’ve recorded) and collaborating with modern voices such as James MacMillan and Julian Wagstaff. Whether unearthing forgotten gems or premiering new pieces, their performances blend technical precision with emotional depth.
Their recent releases, like *Embracing the Unknown* and *In Perpetuity*, showcase their knack for mixing 20th-century classics with fresh commissions. They’ve also teamed up with pianists and ensembles for projects like *Julian Wagstaff: Piano Quintet* and breathed life into Scottish-inspired works such as *The Heroic Ballads*. Beyond the stage, the quartet thrives on educational outreach, ensuring chamber music stays vibrant for new generations. With a discography spanning Shostakovich tributes to genre-defying collaborations, they’re all about keeping strings surprising.
