The quartet is named after the Hebridean island of Staffa. From the Vikings to the Victorians, the ethereal music in Staffa's extraordinary sea caves has enchanted visitors. In 1829, the composer Felix Mendelssohn visited Staffa, the occasion inspiring his magnificent Hebrides Overture, immortalising Staffa as Scotland’s most iconic musical landscape. Below, you can hear us play the overture's famous opening...
