The Telyn Quartet is an exciting young string quartet based in the UK, comprising students of David Takeno, Aria Fujita and Louise Hopkins. The quartet’s passion and dedication to string quartet playing started and has since been fuelled by MusicWorks chamber courses and ‘MusicWorks Sundays’ at King’s Place, London, where they formed as a group. In 2023 the quartet was given the opportunity to take part in the Wye Valley Chamber Music Festival’s Summer Residency, where they received invaluable coaching from Krysia Osostowicz (Brodsky Quartet), Robin Ireland (Lindsay Quartet), Danile Tong and Robin Michael, and were given performance and public masterclass opportunities. The quartet has performed at such venues as the Holywell Music Room (Oxford), West Road Concert Hall (Cambridge) and the Lit & Phil in Newcastle. They recently a further study string quartet course led by Catherine Manson (London Haydn Quartet). The quartet regularly seeks out coaching to develop further and are grateful for the support and encouragement of David Waterman (Endellion Quartet), members of the London Haydn Quartet, and Robert Max. The quartet recently joined the professional mentorship scheme ChamberStudioUK, and took part in a residency led by Donald Grant (Elias Quartet) and Tom Horton in December 2024. The quartet is looking forward to attending the Tunnell Trust’s 2025 course this summer; they are also the 2025 Southwell Festival String Apprentices.
