The Stanford Quartet are a dynamic and versatile string quartet who have established a reputation for the highest level of musicianship performed with the utmost integrity.

Forging a unique path the Stanford Quartet are equally at home in the concert hall or on the Main Stage at Glastonbury. They communicate with their audience, inspiring and capturing their imaginations.
