About
The Aderyn String Quartet is a premier contemporary ensemble based in Cardiff, recognised for blending technical mastery with a high-concept, cinematic edge.
As a headline act for the Fever Candlelight series, they have performed to sold-out audiences at landmark venues including Llandaff Cathedral, St George's Hall in Liverpool, and The Great Hall in Cardiff. Their performance style is defined by an atmospheric intensity, whether delivering the scores of Hans Zimmer and Joe Hisaishi or curated tributes to icons like Fleetwood Mac.
This creative ambition is led by their flagship ensemble, the Rhapsody Rock Orchestra. Formed specifically to headline the UK’s first-ever Queen tribute festival, "Queen of the Castle" at Fonmon Castle, the project has received rave reviews for its bold fusion of classical strings with a powerhouse rock rhythm section. By combining the elegance of a quartet with the electrifying energy of piano, bass, and drums, the group delivers symphonic reimaginings of stadium rock that captivate festival and concert hall audiences alike.
Whether in the recording studio or on a festival stage, the members of Aderyn remain a formidable force in the UK’s live music scene, offering a seamless bridge between classical sophistication and arena-scale energy.
