2022 will mark Quatuor Van Kuijk’s 10 year anniversary. The occasion will be celebrated with a number of special projects centring around Mendelssohn’s string quartet cycle – which they will record for Alpha Classics. Further programmes will see them premiere a new work by Benjamin Attahir, and perform a selection of French melodies specially arranged for them. They will tour to the US, Canada, Australia and Asia making anticipated debuts at venues including Sydney Opera House, UKARIA in Adelaide, and Shanghai Symphony Hall, China.

The ensemble records exclusively for Alpha Classics. Their debut recording, Mozart, was released to outstanding critical acclaim - CHOC de Classica, DIAPASON D'OR DECOUVERTE. Following celebrated discs of Debussy and Ravel, and Schubert, they continued their ongoing exploration of Mozart with two further releases across 2020.

Quatuor Van Kuijk was resident at ProQuartet, Paris, where they studied with members of the Alban Berg, Artemis, and Hagen quartets. Originally students of the Ysaye Quartet, they went on to work with Günter Pichler at the Escuela Superior de Mùsica Reina Sofia in Madrid, supported generously by the International Institute of Chamber Music, Madrid.

The Quartet is supported by Pirastro and SPEDIDAM and is grateful to Mécénat Musical Société Générale for their sponsorship.
