GoYa Quartet

The GoYa Quartet, formed in 2014, is composed of Sylvia Huang, Hani Song, Saeko Oguma, and Honorine Schaeffer. Hailing from Belgium, Switzerland/South Korea, Japan, and France, this cosmopolitan ensemble brings together a unique blend of cultures, with its base in Amsterdam.
The musicians initially crossed paths in the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, where Hani, Saeko, and Honorine are still currently playing. In 2022, Sylvia Huang became Concertmaster of the opera orchestra La Monnaie in Brussels. Their orchestral experience deepens their quartet performances and fuels their pursuit of a rich, dynamic sound.
In November 2024, they released their debut CD, Autumn Leaves, with the Dutch label Gutman Records. The album has already garnered widespread acclaim from the Dutch press, earning 5 stars and a "Cum Laude" rating from Luister. Lex Bohlmeijer described it as "entrancing... it is of unbearable beauty; likely one of the most beautiful albums of the year."
