February 7The Viano String Quartet

The highly acclaimed Viano String Quartet portray “all the warmth, balanced sound, rhythmic solidity, and elegance one could wish for” (American Record Guide). The Quartet has achieved outstanding success since their formation in 2015, with a career-defining First Prize win at the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition. The name “Viano” describes the four individual instruments in a string quartet interacting as one. Each of the four instruments begins with the letter “V”, and like a piano, all four string instruments together play both harmony and melody, creating a unified instrument called the “Viano”.
