LSO Strings & Silk String Quartet

LSO Eclectica: East Meets West

Composer Keting Sun and Silk String Quartet musician

Two masterful string ensembles perform a diverse selection of contemporary and classical Chinese and European music.

A string quartet from the London Symphony Orchestra and a traditional Chinese string quartet perform a mixture of European and Chinese music. The performance shows the influence of the two cultures on each other’s musical traditions, culminating in an octet of the two quartets to play a new piece specially composed by British Chinese composer, Keting Sun.

East Meets West generously supported by the Reignwood Culture Foundation.
