First Prize and Commission Prize winners at the Carl Nielsen International Chamber Music Competition 2023, the Kleio Quartet are quickly establishing themselves as an internationally-recognised quartet. They formed at the Seiji Ozawa International Chamber Academy in 2019 and consist of Juliette Roos (violin), Katherine Yoon (violin), Yume Fujise (viola) and Eliza Millett (cello). They have performed in major international venues such as the Wigmore Hall, Victoria Hall, Cadogan Hall, Royal Festival Hall, the DR Koncerthuset, the Black Diamond in Copenhagen and many others. 

The Kleio Quartet are delighted to join the BBC New Generation Artists scheme from September 2024- 26. The quartet have recently been appointed as the resident quartet for the Royal Northern College of Music’s String Quartet Studio. They are grateful for the ongoing support of Le Dimore del Quartetto from whom they received the ‘Ensemble of the Year’ (2024, IT) and most recently,  received the Freiburg and Walburger Prizes at the Jeunesses Musicales International course in Weikersheim (2024, GE). 

They have held a residency as Britten-Pears Young Artists in Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh and continue a series of residencies hosted by the Strijkkwartet Biënnale Amsterdam from 2023-2025 and at ProQuartet - Centre Européen de Musique de Chambre for the season 2023/24. They have been selected both for the Tunnell Trust’s Music Club Awards Scheme 2022/23 and as Kirckman Concert Society Young Artists for 2023/24. They have also been selected to join the MERITA platform from 2023-2025, and hold the Hattori Foundation Senior Award. 

Recent performance highlights include debuts at the Edinburgh International Festival, London’s Kings Place, and appearances at the North Norfolk Music Festival. Upcoming highlights of their 2024-25 season include a Danish Tour and appearances at La Schubertiade de Sceaux (FR), Frederiskværk Festival (DR) and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival (GE) alongside cellist Eckart Runge and pianist Jacques Ammon.

The Kleio Quartet is particularly grateful to have received support and mentorship from Eckart Runge and John Myerscough thanks to ChamberStudio's Mentorship Scheme. They have also received coaching from internationally-renowned chamber musicians Sadao Harada, Nobuko Imai, Heime Müller, Kirill Gerstein, Kronos Quartet, Cuarteto Casals, Pamela Frank, Simon Rowland-Jones, György Kurtág and Oliver Wille. The quartet will continue their studies at the Hochschule für Robert Schumann in Düsseldorf this coming Autumn 2024 with their mentor Eckart Runge.
