Formed in 2001, the Glasgow String Quartet is rapidly becoming Scotland's premiere string quartet. All principal players in the internationally renowned Royal Scottish National Orchestra, GSQ has been taking the Scottish music circuit by storm with acclaimed performances throughout the country. Praised for its youthful energy and mature interpretations, GSQ has set audiences ablaze with performances characterised as "strong, stylish and engaging" (Michael Tumelty, The Herald).

In its initial season, GSQ has appeared in Glasgow for the Westbourne Music Society, in Ayrshire at Culzean Castle, in Stirling at the Tollbooth Arts Centre, in Balfron's McClintock Hall, and in the Killearn Kirk Concert Series. On behalf of the RSNO Friends, GSQ has appeared at St. Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh and the Queen's Hall, Aberdeen. To conclude the season GSQ made a triumphant live appearance on BBC Radio 3 at the Edinburgh International Festival.

This season the GSQ embarks on their most ambitious project to date, a series of concerts at the world-famous Burrell Collection in Glasgow. Three unique events in one of Scotland’s most unique venues. This year’s season also includes appearances at the Langholm and Eskdale Arts Festival, the Crail Festival, re-invitations to Glasgow's Merchants House for the Westbourne Music Society, the Killearn Kirk Concert Series, the Millport Concert Series and Balbirnie House in Fife.

Broad in repertoire, GSQ has presented programmes ranging from the classics of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven to the great quartets of the 20th century. Unyielding in their commitment to new music, GSQ has given Scottish premieres to New York composer Michael Torke's Corner in Manhattan and Scottish composer Sally Beamish's Opus California.
