ABOUT US
Icon Strings is a collective of some of the top chamber musicians in London. They are all prize-winning graduates of the leading London and International Conservatoires, with busy global performing careers. Icon Strings combines the highest level of musicianship with a touch of glamour, and our themed programmes aim to convey the beauty of music through energetic and heartfelt performances. Despite Icon Strings being formed just 4 years ago, its members have been playing together for over a decade, and this friendship is an integral part of their brand.
Icon Strings are passionate about bringing a wide variety of genres to as broad an audience as possible. They have an ongoing collaboration with TodayTix giving critically acclaimed candlelight concerts at the Actor's Church in Covent Garden, and besides this they have held residencies performing Classical and cross-over concerts at Home House London, the Royal Automobile Club, and Alborz Fitness. Besides this, they have also performed for the Ashdown Forest Foundation, and have been invited to present contemporary music at The Landmark Arts Centre multiple times. This has most recently seen them exploring works by Terry Riley, The Danish String Quartet, and Max Richter beneath Luke Jerram’s Gaia Earth Project. January 2025 saw Icon Strings perform their critically-acclaimed Musicals by Candlelight programme to a sold out hall at the renowned venue, Cube 521, in Luxembourg.
The members of Icon Strings are individually making their mark on the UK and International music scene. They have played at many renowned venues throughout the UK and abroad, such as the Royal Albert Hall, the Wigmore Hall, Beijing Bird's Nest Stadium and Het Concertgebouw. Live broadcasts include BBC Radio 3's In Tune and Late Junction, the BBC Proms, and Podium Witteman (Holland) to name just a few. Alongside this, our musicians are much sought after as session players, and can be heard on numerous albums and soundtracks, including Downton Abbey, Beverley Knight, Little Simz, Blue Planet, and The Matrix.
