Modigliani Quartet Chamber Master Class
Founded in 2003, the Modigliani Quartet is recognized as one of today's most sought-after quartets, featuring regularly in prominent international series and on the world's most prestigious stages.
In addition to annual tours in the United States and Asia, the quartet's numerous European tours have brought them to Wigmore Hall, the Paris Philharmonie, the Théâtre des Champs- Elysées, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Saint-Petersburg Philharmonia, and the Elbphil-harmonie in Hamburg.
The Modigliani Quartet's rich collaboration with the record label Mirare has led to 15 recordings representative of their vast repertoire (Schubert, Mozart, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Bartok...), winning numerous awards in France and abroad (Choc de Classica, Diapason d'Or...). On the occasion of their last recording release, the prestigious British magazine "The Strad" selected the quartet as their cover feature.
The Modigliani Quartet also performs and commissions a wide range of contemporary works from composers, including Marc-Antony Turnage, Philippe Hersant, Peter Vasks, Kaija Saariaho, and Evgeny Kissin.
A year after their founding, the Modigliani Quartet won three First Prizes successively at the Eindhoven International Competition (2004), the Vittorio Rimbotti in Florence (2005) and the prestigious Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York (2006). Following studies with the Ysaÿe Quartet and masterclasses with Walter Levin and Gyorgy Kurtag, the Modigliani Quartet were invited to work with the Artemis Quartet at the Berlin Universität der Künste.
