Alkyona Quartet
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 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.
The Alkyona Quartet present fresh, imaginative
interpretations of both well-known and hidden gems
of the string quartet repertoire. They are well known
for their warm connection to audiences and
vivacious performances, and are ‘as vibrant and
memorable as their ‘Kingfisher’ namesake’.
