Viano Quartet

The Viano Quartet are a young ensemble whose star is on the rise. A win at the 13th Banff International String Quartet competition got the world's attention, and they earned one of the most coveted endorsements in classical music with a 2025 Avery Fisher Career Grant.

More than a collection of accolades, this Canadian and American quartet has it all: a "[h]uge range of dynamics, massive sound, and spontaneity…all the warmth, balanced sound, rhythmic solidity, and elegance one could wish for” (American Record Guide). Their programmatic approach blends the classic and contemporary, infused with the spirit of curiosity, discovery, and wonder. Their debut full-length album, 2025's Voyager, pairs Beethoven's Grosse Fuge (a work launched into the stars on the titular spacecrafts) with recent works inspired by the Apollo 11 mission.

They're a quartet with heart, trust, cohesion, and a strong and singular point of view. This is a can't-miss debut from an ensemble you'll surely hear more from.
