Biography

The Fyrish String Quartet was established in 2017, with the current line up playing together since 2020. Hailing from different parts of Scotland, the players are now based in Glasgow and Edinburgh, where they perform with various orchestras, ensembles and bands, do session work and recordings, as well as instrumental teaching.

The quartet has performed across Scotland, presenting varied programmes often combining classical and folk music. In addition to working on the core string quartet repertoire, the quartet also looks to champion lesser known and under-represented composers.
