Tara Quartet

Instruments: Masterclass Programme Ensembles

Estella Fischer, Eva Paturyan [violins], Katie Ní Mhaoláin [viola], Aobhín Keogh Daly [cello]

Formed in September 2025 in Dublin, the Tara Quartet is based at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. Since its formation, the ensemble has been dedicated to developing a strong and unified artistic identity, with a particular focus on the core string quartet repertoire.

The quartet has received valuable artistic guidance from leading chamber musicians, including a masterclass with Corina Belcea of the Belcea Quartet. Further inspiration has come through work with Ruth Gibson and Donald Grant, as well as coachings with David Kenny and Sarah Sew, all of which have contributed significantly to the ensemble’s musical depth and interpretative clarity. The quartet will also be playing at the Killaloe Music Festival this summer.
