In a few words or less
String Quartet in Singapore. Average age 21.5 years old. Have a love-hate relationship with our instruments.
What's with T.H.E name?
Before you think us egoistical young punks, or (*gasp*) S.H.E wannabes, our name came to us
in a strange fit of desperation and serendipity. Lacking the necessary creativity in
coming up with a name while signing up for our first masterclass, we decided on
"the string quartet" before we found out that T.H.E. were actually the initials
of our debut performance, The Haydn "Emperor's" String Quartet. The name has since
been changed to Artsylum Quartet. Find us on Facebook!
Who's the man with purplish-grey hair standing next to us in one of the photos?
(if you happen to spot him in the slideshow)
That would be our very kind coach, Mr Leslie Tan of the T'ang Quartet, who found us
after our debut performance, and offered to subject us to rewarding and
enlightening (though especially arduous for the cellist)
2-hour coaching sessions on a semi-regular basis.
What do we do?
In our free (or not-so-free time), we
play for weddings, company functions, dinner events, fashion shows, pop concerts, soundtrack
recordings, free-for-all concerts, and even private, home-based events. When we are not playing
for gigs, you'll find us playing for one orchestra or another, or stressing over learning
a new quartet work for Leslie's Coaching Session.
