Named after Hong Kong’s endemic Romer's Tree Frog, the Romer String Quartet is a genuinely local ensemble formed by four musicians all born and raised in Hong Kong. The quartet has been recognised locally and abroad as one of the most active string quartets in town since its debut in 2013.
Romer String Quartet has given recitals at venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Toppan Hall in Tokyo, Shanghai Concert Hall and Sabah Art Gallery in Malaysia. It has also performed at festivals including Hong Kong Arts Festival, Hong Kong World Cultures Festival and more.
Romer String Quartet has enjoyed many cross-genre performances in collaboration with composers and multimedia artists. As part of a multimedia project titled 'Muted Situations', the quartet was featured in a pre-recorded video in the Asia Triennial Manchester in the United Kingdom, Art Basel Hong Kong and the Hong Kong New Vision Arts Festival. Romer String Quartet is also featured in the CD “Eurydice: Ballet de la Nuit” and the album “Freespace Mixtape Vol. 3”. In 2021, Romer String Quartet collaborated with the Kamishibai Studio HK and launched a series of online music-animation supported by the “Arts Go Digital Platform Scheme" of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
Romer String Quartet is dedicated to promoting chamber music to the younger generations in Hong Kong and Asia. As teaching artists, Romer String Quartet was the Ensemble-in-Residence of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2014-15. It is the Quartet-in-Residence of Premiere Performances of Hong Kong.
