"The Edinburgh Quartet has never played better… scorchingly focused performances." The Herald

"For fifty years the Edinburgh Quartet has been one of the leading chamber ensembles of the UK. I feel proud to be associated with them as they enter their second half-century under the dynamic leadership of Tristan Gurney, providing some of the most exciting performances in the business." James MacMillan, Patron

With its distinguished international profile, the Edinburgh Quartet is Scotland's premier string quartet. Resident at the Ian Tomlin School of Music, Edinburgh Napier University, and at the University of Glasgow, it is one of the UK's longest-established university-based professional quartets and is Scotland's only full-time chamber ensemble.
