Owing to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we are sorry to announce that the Barbican String Quartet's concert has been cancelled. We very much hope to revive it later in the year.

Former winners of the RPS Albert and Eugenie Frost Prize, the Barbican String Quartet bring their virtuosic artistry to City Music Society in this special lunchtime concert.

The Barbican String Quartet are currently St John's Smith Square Young Artists. They won first prize at the 2019 Joachim International Chamber Music Competition and made their Wigmore Hall debut in 2017 as part of The Musicians' Company's Maisie Lewis Series. In 2018, they won the RPS Albert and Eugenie Frost Prize for outstanding young string quartet.

For this short lunchtime concert, the quartet presents the second of Mozart's Prussian Quartets in contrast with Bartok's Quartet No. 5, infused with the composer's Hungarian and Bulgarian folk influences.

Entry to this concert is free and no booking is required.
