The Gildas Quartet, praised for their ‘energy, verve and refreshing approach’ have performed to critical acclaim at major venues including the Bridgewater Hall, Barbican, Wigmore Hall and live on BBC Radio 3.

Alongside canonic works by Haydn and Debussy, their Conway Hall programme includes William Alwyn’s first String Quartet, with echoes of Dvořák, Janáček and Smetana, and ‘Strum’, by 2024 Grammy-winning composer, Jessie Montgomery
