Formed in the bustle of London in 2018, the Alkyona Quartet present fresh imaginative interpretations of both well-known and hidden gems of the string quartet repertoire. The quartet also revels in finding and championing scintillating but overlooked works. They love collaborations across the Arts and are often found presenting both string quartet and collaborative works in more unusual presentations. They are well known for their warm connection to audiences and vivacious performances, and are 'as vibrant and memorable as their 'Kingfisher' namesake'. The members of the Alkyona Quartet: 

Emma Purslow - violin

Marike Kruup - violin

Claire Newton - viola

Jobine Siekman - cello
