Named after the Romer's Tree Frog endemic to Hong Kong, Romer String Quartet (RSQ) is one of the most active and versatile string quartets in town which has been recognised for its virtuosic performances and creative programming.

Born and raised in Hong Kong - a city known as a cultural melting pot, the four musicians particularly enjoy cross-disciplinary performances in collaboration with artists of diverse background, ranging from dancer, choreographer and multimedia artist, to animator, sand painter, storyteller and indie rock band. Aspiring to create extraordinary musical experiences while pushing the boundaries of a string quartet, RSQ collaborated with acclaimed artists to curate and perform in a variety of genre-defying projects, including award-winning visual and sound artist Samson Young’s multimedia project “Muted Situations” for the Asia Triennial Manchester and Art Basel Hong Kong, and a series of online music-animation co-produced by Kamishibai Studio HK.

Striving to be at the forefront of championing new music, RSQ often works with both established and young composers, giving world premieres of over 50 pieces to date. It was featured in “Freespace Mixtape Vol. 3”, an album of new compositions and arrangements produced by the West Kowloon Cultural District, as well as in the highly acclaimed CD “Eurydice”, with an hour-long work composed by the sought-after interdisciplinary artist Austin Yip for the dance film project “Ballet de la Nuit”.

Since its debut in 2013, the quartet gained wide acclaim for its international appearances at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in the US and Toppan Hall in Japan. It has also been invited to perform at renowned festivals, including the Hong Kong Arts Festival and Beare's Premiere Music Festival. RSQ regularly performs locally and abroad in projects presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government, Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Tokyo), Radio Television Hong Kong, Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Hong Kong Art Museum, Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, Tai Kwun - Centre for Heritage and Arts, Hong Kong Harmonica Association and Hong Kong Composers' Guild, to name a few. RSQ has given over 20 educational and outreach performances as the quartet-in-residence with Premiere Performances Hong Kong, along with masterclasses and workshops at local and overseas institutes.
