ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Meet the Viano String Quartet! C ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Meet the Viano String Quartet!

Founded in Los Angeles in 2015, the quartet are First Prize winners of the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition. FUN FACT: The group has played together since 2015, but had a chance to bond even further when they all lived together during quarantine. A few takeaways from that time: violinist Lucy and violist Aiden share a profound love of bubble tea and long walks. Hao and Tate, meanwhile, enjoy playing tennis together. AT GLCMF: Hear the Viano String Quartet on July 22nd as part of our second Shouse Showcase, “Impressionist to Realist”, or stream their previous performances any time through August.
