The Silk String Quartet is one of the Europe's best professional Chinese music ensembles for classical and contemporary music. Established in 2006, the Quartet has been invited to play prestigious festivals and venues, including the Royal Opera House, Southbank's Purcell Room, St George's in Bristol, the Sage Gateshead and the WOMEX, Manchester, Brighton and Guildford Festivals.
