Resol Quartet - Cafe Concert Series

Thank you for taking a few minutes to help us shape a new kind of musical experience in Glasgow!

🌟 About the Project
We’re the Resol String Quartet, an award winning ensemble based in Glasgow. As well as performing in traditional concert halls, we have a passion for community engagement and for performing in places where you wouldn't usually expect to find a string quartet. While we love the formal concert setting, we’re looking to create something different: a relaxed, intimate concert series in a local cafe.

Think of it as a book club for classical music—a place where people gather regularly, get to know each other, and enjoy string quartet music together. You don’t need to know anything about classical music to join; it’s for curious minds, new listeners, and lifelong fans alike. These events will aim to bring local communities together and provide the chance to hear a live string quartet up close.

We want to build a space that feels welcoming, social, and informative, where you can engage with the music, ask questions, and connect with others.

We’d love your input to help us get it right, and your feedback will be so helpful, so thank you for your time!
