Martin Wray studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama under the tutelage of Mark Knight. After graduating with a 1st Class Honours degree, he then completed an MA at the Royal Academy of Music with Martin Outram. Martin has a great deal of orchestral experience, playing with orchestras throughout London and the U.K including guest sub-principal with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Rambert Ballet, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Martin was a member of the London Philharmonic Orchestra's Foyle Future Firsts programme and now works regularly with the orchestra, as well as featuring as a backing artist for BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and BBC Radio on numerous occasions. As an active performing member of the Dulcinea Quartet, Martin has appeared on stage at all the major London venues and has toured individually throughout Europe, China, Japan and Canada.

As an arranger of string music, Martin has published many arrangements of pop tracks for string quartet which are now played across the globe.

The Dulcinea Quartet was formed in 2008 at the Royal Academy of Music. In 2011 violinist Minn Majoe and Haru Ushigusa were joined by cellist Hannah Masson-Smyth, followed by violist Martin Wray in 2012. The Dulcinea Quartet has benefited from masterclasses with the Wihan, Skampa, Vanbrugh, Henschel and Chilingirian Quartets and have received coaching from eminent musicians such as Thomas Brandis, Martin Outram, Garfield Jackson, Hartmut Rohde and Richard Deakin. The Quartet was commended for their performance of Schumann’s String Quartet No.2 in the Wolfe Wolfinsohn Quartet Prize and has recently given the world première of Keiko Takano's “Cloudscapes” and the Japanese première of Chris Roe's “Jetez!” They perform frequently in and around London, and are continuously looking for new and exciting repertoire from across the globe. The Dulcinea Quartet is also part of ‘ANIMA’, a small chamber ensemble which plays contemporary music alongside animated films. With support from the Sasakawa foundation, they toured Japan with new commissions on four occasions. In 2016/17 they were Trinity Laban Richard Carne Quartet fellows and performed in Tokyo again, this time at Geidai University where they worked on the Mendelssohn Octet and Bartok's 4th Quartet.
