Sonas String Quartet
Joining us this week are the incredible Sonas String Quartet, comprised of Caroline Durham (violin), Isabelle Allan (violin), Eve Quigley (viola) and Alice Abram (cello).
Formed in 2022 at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, the Sonas Quartet (@sonasquartet) has quickly established itself as a dynamic and accomplished ensemble under the mentorship of Gary Pomeroy of the Heath Quartet. The 2024/2025 season marked an exciting chapter for the quartet as they joined the Hans Keller Chamber Studio and the Britten Pears Programme. Recent events include a masterclass with Johannes Meisler, Mendelssohn Octet performance with the Motus Quartet and Mozart Clarinet Quintet Concert with Nick Carpenter.
In 2023, the quartet won first prize in the prestigious St James’ Chamber Prize at the Guildhall School, which led to a performance in Southwark Cathedral in May 2024. That same year, the Quartet was invited to participate in the 'Sounds of Change' EU course in Germany, where they had masterclasses with renowned musicians such as Kirill Troussov and Philippe Graffin. Following this, they were invited to perform a series of concerts in Portugal in October 2024.
Programme to include:
Mendelssohn Quartet in A minor, Op.13
Clarice Assad 'Canções da America'.
The next lunchtime concert is on Thursday 3 December and will be performed by the Tim Horton (piano).
Join the LSE Choir and Orchestra on Tuesday 8 December for the LSE Christmas Concert in the beautiful surroundings of St Clement Danes
