An exciting and talented string quartet whose playing shows flare, beauty, charm and passion.  A genuine sense of enthusiasm surrounds their performances. 

The Orfeas String Quartet was formed in 2004 by graduates of the Royal Academy of Music & Trinity College.  In its initial stages the quartet worked intensively with Michael Bochmann & George Hadjinikos developing its own sound and ethos.  Always aspiring for beauty of line and unity, their sound is unique and has been highly praised.  They have given numerous acclaimed performances of lesser know and new repertoire. 

They regularly perform at Parties, Functions, Charity Receptions & Weddings adding something special to the atmosphere of the events and are invariably asked to return. The quartet tailors their repertoire to the requirements of each client and can arrange special requests.   

Recent clients include the Mayor of London, HSBC Bank and the Arts Council of England. They regularly perform in Whitehall for Cabinet Ministers and Members of Parliament. 

Performance highlights include:

* Royal Festival Hall as part of the RFH Revival celebrating the newly redesigned acoustic. 
* St Martin in the Fields as part of the Re Opening Celebrations. 
* Dover House, The Scottish Office Celebration of the 300th Anniversary of the Union of Scotland and England. 
* HRH Prince Philip at the Queen's House in Greenwich. 
* Canning House Recital for the Latin American Cultural Institute. 
* Orfeas Quartet recording on Wayne Gidden's Debut Album

The Quartet also gives recitals in Concert Halls, Music Clubs & Festivals throughout Great Britain.  They have a wide and interesting repertoire ranging from Purcell's Chaconne to quartets by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Dvorak, Borodin, Turina, Piazzolla & Shostakovich and works written especially for them.
