The Mēla guitar quartet takes their name from the Sanskrit word for ‘Festival’. Their programmes celebrate an engaging and imaginatively wide-ranging programme of original pieces for guitar quartet and their own ingenious arrangements.
The quartet formed in 2015 as graduates of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music. They quickly became International Guitar Festival Young Artists 2015/16, then Park Lane Group young artists 2018/19 and Royal Over-Seas League chamber music finalists 2019.
Notable performances for the quartet have included the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room, Kings Place Hall One, St James’ Church Piccadilly, Barbican Centre’s Milton Court, St George’s Bristol, Westminster Abbey and, of course, Jimi Hendrix’s bedroom.
