The LK String Quartet has been playing together since then and have appeared in performances internationally including at the 2003 Kennedy Center Honors and a “Live from Lincoln Center” performance; both of these were national television broadcasts.
2007-2008 appearances of the LK String Quartet include performances at the Metropolitan Museum, Lincoln Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Neue Galerie, and the Colony Club in New York City, as well as multiple performances in Princeton, NJ, Virginia Beach, VA, East Hampton, NY, Sarasota, FL, and Beaver Creek, CO.

Last season, the LK String Quartet was invited to participate in the NY Philharmonic’s Learning Overtures symposium representing the United States in an exploration comparing music education in Finland and the USA. As a result, the quartet participated in public rehearsals, lessons, an open forum, and a concert in Merkin Concert Hall in New York City.
