The Holtág Quartet are a newly formed string quartet comprising students from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Since their debut where they performed works by Haydn, Beethoven and Glass, they have gone on to explore repertoire by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Elizabeth Maconchy and Frank Bridge.

The quartet were finalists in the 2025 CAVATINA Intercollegiate Competition at Wigmore Hall and were awarded the Sir John Barbirolli Prize for String Quartets at Trinity Laban. They also made their debut on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune. The group are currently the piloting the Centre for Ensemble Excellence chamber music course at Trinity Laban.

This concert is part of a series of evening performances at the Queen’s House, organised in partnership with the Faculty of Music at Trinity Laban and generously supported by The Rainbow Dickinson Trust.
