Location: Laan van Meerdervoort 215, 2563 AA

Launched at the beginning of the 2022-23 season, the Valo Quartet was created out of a mutual desire to delve more profoundly into the string quartet repertoire. A shared spirit of spontaneity became the perfect starting point to develop a sense of enduring growth, the guiding light (Valo – ‘light’ in Finnish) being the union of meaningful exploration of the score and trust in the individual player’s musical instincts. The members, originally from Poland, the UK and Finland, come together and often collaborate at festivals and series across Europe. Recent highlights have included Festival Resonances, Belgium, Trasimeno Music Festival, Italy and series such as Seriös Helsinki, Finland. In the 2024-25 season the Quartet are delighted to make their debut performances at the Lammermuir Festival, Scotland, Musiq3 Festival, Belgium, Kaustinen Chamber Music Festival, Finland and in prestigious venues such as The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Gateshead
