Gildas Quartet
Praised for their refreshing approach and exciting precision, the Gildas Quartet are fast establishing themselves as one of the most exciting young ensembles to emerge in recent years. They have performed to critical acclaim across the UK and Europe at major venues including the Purcell Room, Wigmore Hall, and live on BBC Radio 3. They will make their Bridgewater Hall debut later this year as part of the Manchester Mid-day Concerts series. Other recent projects have seen them give recitals at the Two Moors Festival to which they return immediately after this concert.
St Vincents Chapel
A Gothic gem, St Vincents was built by the brothers John, William & James Hay of Liverpool and opened in 1857. Since opening up for wider uses by the community in early 2015, St Vincents has rapidly become a highly prized hub for music making. Its compact size and outstanding acoustic mark it out as one of the most important venues for chamber music in Edinburgh.
Harry Whalley
Harry Whalley is an award winning composer of contemporary classical, film and electroacoustic music. His works have been performed around the world, from New York to Vancouver as well as around the UK and Ireland. World-class music groups such as the Hebrides Ensemble, Artisan Trio, Red Note Ensemble, Vancouver Miniaturists Ensemble, Gildas Quartet, Edinburgh Quartet, Ensemble Eunoia and many others have performed his music. In addition, he has composed the scores for film and computer games that have been featured at film festivals around the world, including Palm Spring, LA, Berlin and London. In 2015 Harry became the first composer in residence at St. Vincents Chapel.
