First prize winners of the 2019 Joseph Joachim International Chamber Music Competition as well as the 2018 St Martin in the Fields Chamber Music Competition, the Barbican Quartet are an emerging young quartet. Hailing from four different countries and currently based in London, the quartet consists of violinists Amarins Wierdsma and Kate Maloney, violist Christoph Slenczka and cellist Yoanna Prodanova. They made their Wigmore Hall début in 2017 thanks to the Maisie Lewis Award, and were 2020 St John Smith Square Young Artists and 2016 Park Lane Group artists. In 2018 the Royal Philharmonic Society awarded them the Albert and Eugenie Frost Prize.  The Barbican Quartet has appeared in such festivals as Peasmarsh Festival, Vibre! Quatuors à Bordeaux, Zeist Muziekdagen, Montreal International String Quartet Academy, IMS Prussia Cove and Aldeburgh. Their performances have been broadcast on NPO Radio 4 and BBC Radio 3.

The Barbican quartet is a part of the Chamber Music Academy with Guenter Pichler at the Reina Sofia String Quartet Academy in Madrid. Among their mentors are the Belcea Quartet, Quatuor Ebene, Alasdair Tait, Andras Keller, David Waterman, Ferenc Rados and Rita Wagner. They are very grateful to the Dutch Instrument Foundation for Amarins' Guadagnini violin and the Canimex Group (Canada) for Yoanna’s Gagliano cello.
