The Carmina Quartet is an esteemed chamber ensemble that has carved out a significant niche for themselves in the classical music world. Founded in Switzerland in 1984 by four young musicians, the quartet quickly established itself through its profound musical intelligence and its expressive, nuanced, and dynamic performances. As an ensemble committed to both traditional and contemporary repertoire, the Carmina Quartet has mastered a vast range of musical works, earning accolades for their interpretations of classical, romantic, and modern compositions.

Their most recent releases showcase their versatility and commitment to exploring diverse musical landscapes. From the intricacies of Mozart and Brahms' Clarinet Quintets to the rich sonorities of Dvorák's chamber works, and the modern textures of Uzor and Zimmerlin's string quartets, the Carmina Quartet continuously demonstrates its ability to navigate complex scores with ease and precision. Their renditions of Boccherini's works articulate a refined understanding of the Baroque idiom, while their performances of Bartók and Szymanowski capture the essence of 20th-century modernism. Celebrated for their meticulous attention to detail and their vibrant musical storytelling, the Carmina Quartet remains a leading light in the international chamber music scene.
