The St Marylebone Free Lunchtime Concerts Return! In partnership with the Royal Academy of Music

After a summer break, we’re delighted to welcome you back to the St Marylebone Free Lunchtime Concerts!

Neruda Quartet

Join us on Friday 10th October for an inspiring performance by esteemed musicians from the Royal Academy of Music.

The Neruda Quartet was founded at the Royal Academy of Music in October of 2024. The quartet’s name is a tribute to Moravian violinist, Wilma Neruda, one of the first female virtuosos and chamber music enthusiasts. Her fame was such that even Arthur Conan Doyle references her in A Study in Scarlet. The Neruda Quartet has been very fortunate to be able to benefit from the chamber resources of the Academy by having coachings and study days with the likes of Marije Johnston, Anthony Marwood, Sini Simmonen, John Thorne, Levon Chilingarian, Yoanna Prodanova, and Jim Sleigh.

Although having only been formed for a short while, Neruda has been very honored by being chosen for several opportunities through RAM, including being selected as the only representatives of the Academy at the International Orchestral Symposium that was held at the Tianjin Juilliard School in May 2025. Additionally, Neruda is looking forward to a busy fall and winter of concerts around London and the UK.
