Quatuor Hermès, hailing from France, is a distinguished string quartet celebrated for their exquisite musicality and profound interpretations. The quartet came into prominence after their formation in 2008, when the ensemble's members, all trained at the Lyon and Paris conservatories, found a shared passion for chamber music. They were quickly recognized for their talent and were groomed under the tutelage of the Ysaÿe Quartet at the Paris Conservatoire, with further guidance from Eberhard Feltz in Berlin. Their ascent in the classical music scene was marked by several accolades, including taking first prize at the 2011 Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York.

Over the years, Quatuor Hermès has delighted audiences around the world with their performances that deftly traverse a wide repertoire. From the intricate works of Brahms to the soul-stirring compositions of Schubert, they have showcased a remarkable ability to convey the depths of emotion found in the music they play. Their most recent releases, such as the albums dedicated to the works of Charlotte Sohy, Schubert, and a mix of Ravel, Dutilleux, and Debussy, highlight their commitment to both illuminating the canonical masterpieces of the string quartet repertoire and shedding light on lesser-known composers. Through their recordings and live performances, they continue to enchant listeners with their nuanced and passionate approach to music-making.
