About The Kyan Quartet
We thank the Tunnell Trust for sponsoring this young ensemble, who will explore the evolution of the string quartet over four centuries.
The C19th is represented by Schubert, the C20th by Shostakovich and Bartók; two recent works from America revel in the thrilling timbral expressiveness of plucking and bowing, before the recital ends with the last of Haydn’s seminal Opus 76 quartets from 1797.
