We're thrilled to be welcoming the Elmore Quartet to Enys House on the evening of March 29th to celebrate the launch of our 2026 festival. In this exclusive event not only will you get to experience a group of musicians who are fast becoming one of the country's leading string quartets, but also you'll be the first to hear about the exciting events we have planned for our 2026 festival!

The Elmore Quartet

Founded in the industrial city of Manchester (UK), the Elmore Quartet is an award-winning British Quartet based in London, where they are currently Hans Keller Chamber Fellows at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

From their first sight-reading session at the start of their studies in 2017, the Elmores were bitten by the chamber music bug and have been pursuing their dream of performing chamber music together for audiences across the world ever since.

Over the past two years, the Elmore Quartet has recorded multiple times for BBC Radio 3 and

performed at esteemed venues throughout the UK and Europe, including Wigmore Hall, Kings

Place London, Bridgewater Hall, and Oxford’s Holywell Music Room. In 2024, they were awarded Third Prize at the 13th edition of the Premio Paolo Borciani International String Quartet Competition in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

In 2024, the Elmores were selected as Penzance MusicAbility Foundation’s first resident String

Quartet. This three-year position allows the Quartet to integrate themselves into West Cornwall’s

unique community by performing regularly as part of the Concerts Penzance concert series,

working with local schools, and utilising their passion for sharing classical music with new

audiences.
