Kleio Quartet

Berkhamsted Music Society

The Kleio Quartet formed at the Seiji Ozawa International Chamber Academy in 2019, and are quickly establishing themselves as an internationally-recognised quartet. They won First Prize and Commission Prize at the Carl Nielsen International Chamber Music Competition in 2023.  They are BBC New Generation Artists for 2024-26, and residents for the Royal Northern College of Music’s String Quartet Studio.  Previously, they have held residencies as Britten Pears Young Artists, with the Strijkkwartet Biënnale Amsterdam, and with ProQuartet (Centre Européen de Musique de Chambre).

Recent performance highlights include debuts at the Edinburgh International Festival, London’s Kings Place, and appearances at the North Norfolk Music Festival.  Highlights of their 2024-25 season include a Danish tour and appearances at La Schubertiade de Sceaux, Frederiskværk Festival and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival.
