Friends joined through their love of chamber music, the Resol String Quartet formed in the Autumn of 2018 at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Taking their name from the Catalan word meaning 'reflection of sunlight', they were brought together by their shared vision to make classical music more inclusive and accessible both in the present and for the future.
In May 2021, the quartet was awarded both the First Prize and Audience Prize in the CAVATINA Competition at the Wigmore Hall, representing the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. In the same year, they made their Perth Concert Hall debut, were named as one of Chamber Music Scotland's 'Ones to Watch' and were accepted to work with Live Music Now Scotland. They also appeared live on BBC Radio Scotland's 'Classics Unwrapped'. In 2022 they made their Conway Hall Debut as part of their historic 'Sunday Concert Series'.
The ensemble has run many of their own concert tours across the UK and Europe and continue to do so in all of their seasons. Education is an important aspect of the quartet's work. Their latest season saw them visit many local schools in the communities in which they performed, offering heavily or fully subsidised visits thanks to a grant awarded by Creative Scotland.
Resol Quartet have received masterclasses and coaching from: The Fitzwilliam String Quartet, Isabelle Van Keulen, Nicholas Daniel, Richard Ireland as part of Chamber Studio, Elena Urioste, Tom Poster, David Watkin, Joseph Swenson, Donald Grant, the Brodsky Quartet and Manchester Collective.
