Event Description
Praised for their “virtuosity, visceral expression, and rare unity of intention” (Boston Globe), the Viano Quartet are one of the most sought-after performing young ensembles today and currently in-residence at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Bowers Program from 2024-2027.
Since winning First Prize at the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition, they have traveled to nearly every major city across the globe, captivating audiences in New York, London, Berlin, Vancouver, Paris, Beijing, Toronto, Lucerne, and Los Angeles. Complementing their program of Prodigies Haydn and Smetana, they perform an energetic new piece by Canadian composer Kevin Lau, the youngest person to be appointed Affiliate Composer of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, in 2012
Cellist Tate Zawadiuk and violinist Lucy Wang are native British Columbians, returning ‘home’ in this exciting conclusion to the series.
