Michelangelo String Quartet

The Michelangelo Quartet was formed in 2002 by four musicians distinguished as soloists, chamber musicians and teachers, who share an irresistible desire to play together the greatest repertoire of all. Since their first concert season, 2003/4, they have toured regularly the Scandinavia, Benelux, the UK, Germany, Italy and Japan, giving concerts in major halls such as the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Théí¢tre des Champs Elysées, Paris, Tonhalle, Zí¼rich, and London’s Wigmore Hall. Festival appearances have included Edinburgh, Sion, Naantali, Hardanger, the Pablo Casals Festival, Prades, and the Delft and New Zealand Chamber Music Festivals. During the 5 years of its existence, critics have consistently praised the quartet for the collective virtuosity and experience of its members, as well as their musicality and intensity of feeling. The Quartet has performed the complete Beethoven quartets cycle in Scotland in the season 2012/2013 and is looking forward to its next complete Beethoven cycle in Japan, in 2015.
