Quartet Concrète

Formed at Guildhall School in 2021, Quartet Concrète are known for their natural chemistry, blended sound, and vivid atmospheres. Winners of the 2023 St James’ Chamber Music Competition, they have performed across Europe at venues including the Barbican, St James’ Piccadilly, Holker Hall, and Cité Musicale Metz. They were mentored through Chamber Studio’s Hans Keller Forum by John Myerscough, Alasdair Beatson, and Richard Ireland, and held a 2024 residency at the Lake District Music Festival. Passionate educators and champions of new music, they have worked with the Brodsky Quartet, Heath Quartet, and Quatuor Diotima, while maintaining an active international concert schedule.

Ballet Nights New Year’s Day

‘Ballet Nights is a new dance tradition, crafted to celebrate the stories of dance and dancers worldwide, and shared with both new audiences and lifelong dance fans. Each Ballet Nights show is a one-night-only event celebration featuring short works, live music, and a compère guiding the night. You don’t need to know anything about dance to enjoy it - you just need to be curious.’


Quartet Concrète performed as part of the music acts in the show. Our repertoire included movements III and IV of  Antonín Dvořák’s Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 81, opening the whole evening, as well as Bryce Dessner’s relentless ‘Aheym’, and finally joining Patrick Alexander Keefe for ‘Largo al Factotum’ from Rossini’s ‘The Barber of Seville’.
