The Gildas Quartet is praised for its ‘energy, verve and refreshing approach’ and has performed to critical acclaim at major venues including the Barbican, Kings Place, Wigmore Hall and on BBC Radio 3. The Quartet, known for its bold and engaging performances, was recognised with the Audience Engagement Award first prize at the International Franz Schubert and Modern Music Competition, Graz.

Passionate advocates of music from all periods, the quartet enjoys frequent collaborations with renowned musicians and composers. They have worked closely with Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Colin Matthews, Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Philip Cashian among others.
