Jubilee String Quartet

Hosted by the LSE Arts Lunchtime Concert Series
In-person public event (Shaw Library, 6th floor, Old Building)
Thursday 19 February 2026 1.05pm - 2pm

Comprised of four musicians from across the globe, this week we are joined by the exceptional Jubilee String Quartet.

The Jubilee Quartet was formed in 2006, with each member of the group bringing their unique sense of cultural identity, using musical inspiration from four different homelands: the Czech Republic, Canada, Spain, and England.

The quartet has received glowing reviews from The Sunday Times, Classical Source, The Daily Telegraph, Gramophone, Strad Magazine and others for its debut recording of three Haydn quartets released in 2019 on Rubicon Classics.

Winners of the First Prize at the Gianni Bergamo Classic Music Award in Lugano, Switzerland in September 2019, the quartet maintains an active performance schedule across the UK and Europe, and enjoys collaborating with ProQuartet in Paris and ChamberStudio in London. Alongside performing in venues such as the Wigmore Hall, Conway Hall, and the Purcell Room, the quartet has also been featured on BBC Radio 3 “In Tune”.

Programme to include:

Mozart String Quartet In B flat major, K589

Smetana String Quartet No.1 “From My Life”

The next lunchtime concert is on Thursday 26 February and will be performed by the Andrzej Wiercinski (piano).

Join the LSE Choir and Orchestra on Tuesday 31 March for the LSE Spring Concert in the beautiful surroundings of St Clement Danes Church.
