Kyan String Quartet

Hosted by the LSE Arts Lunchtime Concert Series

Shaw Library, 6th floor, Old Building

Established in 2020, the award-winning Kyan Quartet brings together four exceptional musicians from the United Kingdom, the United States, China, and France.

The quartet enjoys a busy and vibrant career, having performed across Europe and Asia. Recent highlights include winning the Richmond Concert Society String Ensemble Award at the 2024 Royal Over-Seas League competition, and undertaking a three-week tour throughout China. As upcoming Tunnell Trust award holders, the quartet will tour across Scotland in February 2025. The Kyans are looking forward to their residency at this year’s South Downs Summer Music  International Festival. They have held residencies with the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme, the European String Teachers Association, and the Borromeo Music Festival. Recent collaborations include guitar quintets with Ahmed Dickinson at Wigmore Hall, and Mendelssohn’s famed Octet with the Carducci Quartet.

Programme includes:

Shostakovich String Quartet No. 11 in F Minor, op 122

Beethoven String Quartet No. 8 in E Minor, 'Rasumovsky' op.59 No.2

The next lunchtime concert is on Thursday 20 March and will be performed by Alice Neary (cello) and Viv Maclean (piano).

Join the LSE Choir and Orchestra on Tuesday 1 April for the LSE Spring Concert in the beautiful surroundings of St Clement Danes Church.

More about this event

Just economics and politics? Think again. While LSE does not teach arts or music, there is a vibrant cultural side to the School - from weekly free music concerts in the Shaw Library, and an LSE orchestra and choir with their own professional conductors, various film, art and photographic student societies and regular public exhibitions. For more information please visit LSE Arts and Music.
