Kyan Quartet & Ahmed Dickinson

In a new Conway Hall collaboration with Echoes Festival's *African Diaspora* series, acclaimed classical guitarist **Ahmed Dickinson** joins forces with the **Kyan Quartet** to explore vibrant Afro-Cuban repertoire by Cuba's most distinctive contemporary composers. Their programme brings some classical cool to the traditional string quartet format, with effervescent syncretisms of Afro, Cuban and European influences that explode the expressive possibilities of strings and guitar. A journey through irresistible rhythmic landscapes that will have you tapping your feet and swaying in your seat!

Organised in collaboration with the Iberian & Latin American Music Society and the Cervantes Institute as part of Echoes Festival 2025.
