About the Holtág Quartet
The Holtág Quartet are a newly formed string quartet comprising students from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Since their debut where they performed works by Haydn, Beethoven and Glass, they have gone on to explore repertoire by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Elizabeth Maconchy and Frank Bridge.
The quartet were finalists in the 2025 CAVATINA Intercollegiate Competition at Wigmore Hall and were awarded the Sir John Barbirolli Prize for String Quartets at Trinity Laban. They also made their debut on BBC Radio 3's In Tune. The group are currently the piloting the Centre for Ensemble Excellence chamber music course at Trinity Laban.
With grateful thanks
Evening performances at the Queen's House by Trinity Laban are kindly supported by The Rainbow Dickinson Trust.
The Rainbow Dickinson Trust was established in the late 1990s by Dr Bernarr Rainbow, the leading authority on music education, and Professor Peter Dickinson, the composer, pianist, author and academic. The aim of the Trust is to advance and promote education in music.
Under Peter Dickinson’s leadership, the Trust has sponsored publications and lectures, and made hundreds of grants to musical endeavours, particularly those for young performers and audiences. Today the Trust continues to support a wide range of music education work, in line with the interests and achievements of its founders.
Both founders of the Trust had strong connections with Trinity Laban (formerly Trinity College of Music) and took a close interest in its work.
