The Regent String Quartet was formed in 1995 at the Royal Academy of Music by Caryn Cohen (Violin), Sarah Turner (Viola) and Helen Godbolt (Cello). They were later joined by Emma Martin (Violin) from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Please see the links below for more information on these prestigious establishments.
