Friends of the Edinburgh Quartet
Friends of the Edinburgh Quartet is our membership programme, connecting the players to our most loyal supporters
For more than sixty years, the Edinburgh Quartet has shared chamber music with audiences across Scotland and beyond, from concert halls and festivals to schools and community programmes. The support of our Friends plays an important part in sustaining this work and helping us plan new projects, commissions, and performances.
We’ve refreshed our Friends programme to offer a clear set of ways to support the Quartet, whether you’ve been with us for years or are joining for the first time. Every supporter makes a difference, and each tier offers its own opportunities to become more closely involved with our music-making throughout the season.
