Bio

The Holtág Quartet is a dynamic string quartet with a repertoire spanning classical and contemporary works, from Haydn, Beethoven, and Ravel, to Crumb, Maconchy, and Glass. Shortly after their formation, the quartet was selected to pilot the Ensemble Pathways course – a specialist chamber music diploma – at Trinity Laban, supported by Philip Carne MBE. Alongside their core repertoire, the quartet has developed a particular interest in theatrical and interdisciplinary performance, exploring the integration of movement, staging, and contemporary works.

They have performed at leading venues including Wigmore Hall, Queen’s House, the Painted Hall, and at Lancaster House. Within their first year, the Holtág Quartet were finalists in the 2025 Cavatina Intercollegiate Competition, recipients of the Sir John Barbirolli Prize for String Quartets at Trinity Laban and made their debut on BBC Radio 3 In Tune. The quartet has received coaching from Malcolm Johnston of the LSO, the Carducci and Piatti Quartets, and the Linos Piano Trio.
