Alkyona Quartet
https://www.alkyonaquartet.com
Formed in the bustle of London in 2018, the Alkyona Quartet present fresh imaginative interpretations of both well-known and hidden gems of the string quartet repertoire. The quartet also revels in finding and championing scintillating but overlooked works. They love collaborations across the Arts and are often found presenting both string quartet and collaborative works in more unusual presentations.
Why ´Alkyona´? A question our audiences often ask us. We have a bird lover in our midst, Emma. ´Alkyona´ or properly spelt ´AAkuóva´ means ´Kingfisher´ in Greek. All music makers can relate to the thrill of chasing the fleeting fulfilled musical moment, or the ´flash of blue´ as the kingfisher streaks past. A rare sight, but a moment that stills time. One we hope you´ll remember forever
