The Artists

The Prazak Quartet formed in 1972 while its members were students at the Prague Conservatory.  The group quickly secured top prizes from prestigious competitions, including Evian and the Prague International Competition. They perform regularly on major stages throughout Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia, earning critical acclaim for their technical mastery and expressive lyricism. Their recordings (since 1996 exclusively on Praga/Harmonia Mundi) have garnered numerous international awards, including the Grand Prix International du Disque and the Diapason d’Or.  For more information on the Prazak Quartet visit www.prazakquartet.com.
