Leonkoro Quartet live in Norwich

Experience Leonkoro Quartet live on December 5th

The Leonkoro Quartet will perform at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, United Kingdom on December 5th, 2026. The quartet is recognised for its intensely focused and emotionally resonant interpretations of chamber music, particularly within the Classical and Romantic repertoire. They are known for a distinctive sound characterised by clarity, precision, and a willingness to explore both the technical and expressive depths of each piece. Formed in 2008, the quartet has rapidly gained international acclaim, winning several prestigious awards and performing at major concert halls globally.

The John Innes Centre is an independent, international research institute dedicated to plant science and biotechnology. Originally founded in 1910 as the Norfolk and Norwich Horticultural Society’s experimental garden, it evolved into a leading centre for genetics research, initially focusing on plant breeding before expanding into fundamental biological research. The Centre's buildings incorporate both historic structures dating back to its horticultural origins and modern laboratory facilities. While primarily a scientific institution, the John Innes Centre occasionally hosts cultural events utilising its unique spaces; the concert hall provides an intimate setting for performances. The choice of venue suggests an intention to connect with the broader community beyond scientific circles.
