Cuarteto Quiroga live in Anstruther

Experience Cuarteto Quiroga live on July 4th

Cuarteto Quiroga, a string quartet internationally recognised for their interpretations of Spanish and Central European classical repertoire, will perform at Kilrenny Parish Church in Anstruther, United Kingdom on July 4th, 2026. The quartet is known for a warm, richly textured sound and a commitment to exploring both established masterpieces and lesser-known works, particularly those by composers like Bartók and Schubert alongside significant Spanish composers. Formed in 1981, they have garnered numerous awards and a reputation for insightful and emotionally engaging performances.

Kilrenny Parish Church itself dates back to the 12th century, though the current building largely reflects alterations made in 1778 and further restoration work undertaken in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally a Roman Catholic establishment dedicated to St James, it became part of the Church of Scotland following the Scottish Reformation. The church is noted for its location overlooking Anstruther harbour and its historical association with local fishing communities. Its acoustic properties are considered favourable for chamber music performances due to its relatively intimate size and stone construction. The church continues to serve as an active place of worship alongside hosting cultural events.
