The Flare Quartet, formed in 2020, consists of Dutch violinists Linde van de Ven and Maartje Rosmulder, together with Gabriel Torner Alsina (viola) from Spain and Laurence Gaudreau (cello) from Canada, all of whom obtained their master’s degrees from the HKU Utrechts Conservatorium. They form a fresh and innovative ensemble that focuses mainly on 20th- and 21st-century repertoire and presents it to its audience in an accessible way. The ensemble received coaching from renowned chamber musicians, including Sebastian Koloski (Utrecht String Quartet), Gregor Sigl (Artemis Quartet), Karin Dolman (DoelenKwartet), Josef Kluson (Prazak Quartet), and has repeatedly played at venues such as the “Le Guess Who?” Festival and TivoliVredenburg.
