Kyan Quartet
St John's Smith Square, St John's Church Smith Square, SW1P 3HA , [Venue Details]Kyan Quartet performs Berg’s Quartet No. 3 and Beethoven’s Op. 18 No. 5 at Smith Square Hall.
Experience an unforgettable lunchtime concert of chamber music as the Kyan Quartet returns to Smith Square Hall with a bold and thought-provoking programme.
The concert opens with Alban Berg’s gripping String Quartet No. 3—an intense, single-movement work that captures the expressive extremes of early 20th-century modernism. Full of sudden contrasts, fleeting lyricism, and structural intricacy, Berg’s quartet is a cornerstone of the Second Viennese School, offering a richly emotional and intellectually compelling listening experience.
In the second half, the Kyan Quartet turns to Beethoven’s String Quartet in A major, Op. 18 No. 5. Brimming with charm, wit, and classical poise, this quartet showcases Beethoven’s early genius and his playful dialogue with tradition. The pairing of Berg and Beethoven reveals unexpected resonances across time—two visionary voices exploring the possibilities of the string quartet with strikingly different, yet equally profound, results.
Renowned for their dynamic energy and interpretive depth, the Kyan Quartet brings fresh insight and clarity to both works. Join us at Smith Square Hall for a lunchtime of musical contrasts, connections, and exceptional artistry.
