ABOUT TELYN QUARTET The Telyn Quartet (Seth Collin, Alma Vink, Isobel Neary-Adams, Tabitha Appel) is an exciting young string quartet based in the UK, comprising students of David Takeno, Arisa Fujita and Louise Hopkins. The quartets passion and dedication to string quartet playing started and has since been fuelled by MusicWorks chamber courses and MusicWorks Sundays at Kings Place London, where they formed as a group. In 2023, the quartet was given the opportunity to take part in the Wye Valley Chamber Music Festivals Summer Residency, where they received invaluable coaching from Krysia Osostowicz (Brodsky Quartet), Robin Ireland (Lindsay Quartet), Daniel Tong and Robin Michael, and were given performance and public masterclass opportunities. The quartet has performed at venues such as the Holywell Music Room (Oxford), West Road Concert Hall (Cambridge) and the Lit & Phil in Newcastle. They recently attended a further study string quartet course led by Catherine Manson (London Haydn Quartet). The quartet regularly seeks out coaching to further develop their playing and are grateful to the support and encouragement of David Waterman (Endellion Quartet), members of the London Haydn Quartet and Robert Max. The quartet recently joined the professional mentorship scheme ChamberStudio UK, and took part in a residency led by Donald Grant (Elias Quartet) and Tim Horton in December last year.
