UVic welcomes back the amazing Viano Quartet.

Praised for their “virtuosity, visceral expression, and rare unity of intention” (Boston Globe), the
Viano Quartet has quickly soared to international acclaim as one of the most dynamic and in-demand
string quartets of their generation. Winners of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2025,
the ensemble has captivated audiences worldwide ever since they were awarded First Prize at the
13th Banff International String Quartet Competition, with appearances at renowned venues such as
Lincoln Center in New York, Berlin’s Konzerthaus, Toronto’s Koerner Hall, Hong Kong’s City Hall,
and London’s Wigmore Hall. The Viano Quartet are Bowers Program Artists at The Chamber Music
Society of Lincoln Center from 2024-2027.
