The Mavron Quartet – Christiana Mavron, Rachael Briton, Niamh Aston and Beatrice Newman. The Mavron Quartet is Wales’ leading string quartet and since 2010, holds the position of the first Ensemble in Residence at the National Concert Hall of Wales, St David’s Hall. Since 2002, the quartet has fused artistic excellence with a passion for presenting classical repertoire with fresh contemporary pieces, regularly commissioning ground- breaking new works and multimedia projects.
Matthew Frederick fuses an early love of classic singer-songwriters with more recent influences to create a distinctive and timeless blend of Misery Folk, ballads, and blues, plus a touch of Cymrucana and contemporary classical thrown in for good measure.
