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.

‘The astonishingly talented players of the Quartet Concrète, all ex-Guildhall musicians with Jayson Gillham on Piano, somehow managed to deliver convincing interpretations of everything from chamber music to Beethoven’s symphonies.’
Worked with production group ‘NEST’ to create an immersive theatre-performance documenting the life of Ludwig van Beethoven, his life and works. Performed to a sold out audience at the open air venue Opera Holland Park.
