About this Event
The Neruda quartet wil play Haydn's String Quartet op. 33 no. 1, a Brahms quartet and a Bach chorale.
Formed in 2024, the Neruda Quartet is a dynamic, young string quartet based in London,comprising of students from the Royal Academy of Music. The quartet quickly established itself as a prominent ensemble within the Academy’s vibrant musical community after being selected as Tillett Debut artists for the 2026/28 season.
The Neruda Quartet was also chosen to represent the Royal Academy of Music at the First International Orchestral and Chamber Music Symposium in Tianjin, China — an event that brought together ensembles from leading institutions around the world. This was amongst other opportunities such as recording for Academy Alumni Elton John.
Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical traditions, the Neruda Quartet is committed to exploring both the core string quartet repertoire and lesser-known works, with a focus on developing a distinctive and communicative voice. With guidance from a variety of professors and chamber coaches at the Academy, the ensemble continues to refine its artistry and expand its repertoire through regular performances and collaborations.
The quartet takes its name from Wilma Neruda, the pioneering 19th-century violinist
known for her trailblazing career and influential role in the development of chamber music performance. Her legacy as a musician and advocate for women in classical music ontinues to inspire the quartet’s artistic vision.
