Barbican Quartet

Based on verified information, the Barbican Quartet is a dynamic and talented London-based string quartet known for bringing fresh energy and insight to both the classical canon and contemporary works. Formed in 2018 and named after the iconic arts centre, they are celebrated for their passionate performances and collaborative spirit. The quartet members met at the Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music & Drama, honing their craft with prestigious mentors. They've quickly built a reputation for their engaging interpretations, ranging from Britten (as heard in their "Molto Vivace" from Op. 25) and Elgar (like their moving "Nimrod") to exciting premieres by living composers (such as "Manifesto on Love" and "Lux Intus"). Their commitment to diverse repertoire, including exploring folk influences like in "Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär," showcases their versatility and eagerness to connect with audiences through the rich voice of the string quartet.
