Overview
Valo Quartet was launched in 2022 by Maria Włoszczowska, Artistic Partner of the Royal Northern Sinfonia, and three colleagues from the UK and Finland. Named for the Finnish word for ‘light’, it is known for performances hallmarked by arresting intensity and luminosity. Its programme includes the UK première of Soisin by Finnish composer Minna Leinonen, a short work that evokes the mysterious swamps of her homeland, and the teenaged Mendelssohn’s Op. 13, inspired by thoughts of romantic love.
