Castalian String Quartet

Hosted by The LSE Arts Lunchtime Concert Series

Shaw Library, 6th Floor, Old Building

In 2015 the Castalian String Quartet won 1st Prize and three special awards at the Lyon International Competition, and in 2016 won 3rd Prize at the Banff International String Quartet Competition. A brief listen to this quartet’s performances on YouTube justifies LSE in inviting them back – twice!

Sini Simonen (violin), Daniel Roberts (violin), Charlotte Bonneton (viola), Christopher Graves (cello)

Britten  String Quartet No.2 in C, Op.36 (1945)

Schumann  String Quartet No.1 in A minor, Op.41

The next lunchtime concert will be on Thursday 22 February performed by Olga Stezhko (piano).

LSE’s Spring Concert, which will include performances by the LSE Choir and Orchestra, takes place on 20 March in the beautiful surroundings of St Clement Danes. Tickets are available to purchase now from the LSE online store.

Just economics and politics? Think again. While LSE does not teach arts or music, there is a vibrant cultural side to the School - from weekly free music concerts in the Shaw Library, and an LSE orchestra and choir with their own professional conductors, various film, art and photographic student societies, the annual LSE photo prize competition, the LSE Literary Festival and artist-in-residence projects. For more information please view the LSE Arts and Music website.
