Quatuor Van Kuijk

‘These four young Frenchmen made the music smile' said The Guardian of the Quatuor Van Kuijk. A programme that ranges from the Gallic grace of Ravel to the raw passion of Janáček’s Kreutzer Sonata - by way of something completely new - should suit them down to the ground.

But that same critic also praised their ‘style, energy and sense of risk’ – one reason why the Quatuor Van Kuijk won multiple prizes at the 2015 Wigmore Hall String Quartet Competition. This is a chance to hear them growing before your ears; introducing a specially commissioned new work by one of France’s pre-eminent living chamber composers even as they establish their voice in two of the 20th century’s defining masterpieces for string quartet.
