The Martinů String Quartet performs at the Queen’s Hall on Monday 9 November 2026 as part of Edinburgh’s New Town Concerts series. The Czech ensemble’s appearance falls during its fiftieth-anniversary tour, with the concert starting at 7.30pm.
The quartet’s Edinburgh stop is a chamber-music recital: four string players sharing a single musical conversation, rather than a large orchestra on stage.

A Czech chamber-music anniversary
Formed in 1976, the Martinů Quartet has spent five decades performing music written for two violins, viola and cello. The ensemble takes its name from the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, and its long association with Czech repertoire makes the anniversary tour especially relevant to chamber-music audiences.
The performance is presented by New Town Concerts, the Edinburgh series that also hosts visiting ensembles and instrumentalists across the season. Rather than invent a list of pieces, readers should check the official concert programme for the confirmed works and performers.
Tickets and practical details
The concert begins at 7.30pm at the Queen’s Hall, 85–89 Clerk Street. The building is south of the city centre, within reach of bus services along Clerk Street and Nicolson Street.
