The Meliora Quartet was founded in September 2024 under the guidance of Christopher Marwood at the MTU Cork School of Music. Since its formation, the quartet has performed across Cork and Kerry, including appearances for the National String Quartet Foundation in Kinsale, Kenmare, and Youghal, as well as at the NSQF Gala Concert. In spring 2025 they opened the “Vanbrugh and Friends” Concert Series as part of FUAIM at UCC. Their 2026 season promises an exciting lineup of performances that will bring the quartet to audiences throughout the Munster region.

The name “Meliora” comes from the Latin word for “improvement,” a concept that lies at the core of the quartet’s artistic identity. Reflecting this ethos, the group is committed to deeply exploring their repertoire and sharing music with insight, curiosity, and collective joy.

Tickets are €20
