Stephanie Benedetti, Kirsty Mangan, Natalie Holt and Rachael Lander formed Raven in 2007. They hail from the Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester University and the National Film and Television School. Disillusioned by the traditional ‘background’ role of the string quartet, Raven provide a refreshing antidote with their energetic interpretation of classical repertoire. Raven’s eclectic set list includes works from Vivaldi to Morricone and has already impressed audiences around the country, most recently on stage at the iTunes festival at Koko in Camden.
