Quatuor Van Kuijk

Formed in 2012, the Quatuor Van Kuijk is an esteemed French string quartet that has rapidly garnered international acclaim for their dynamic performances and profound interpretations across the chamber music repertoire. Comprising Nicolas Van Kuijk (violin), Sylvain Favre-Bulle (violin), Emmanuel François (viola), and François Robin (cello), the ensemble was catapulted to prominence after clinching the First Prize, Best Beethoven, and Best Haydn at the 2015 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. This victory marked a milestone, confirming their status as one of the most promising young quartets of their generation.

The Quatuor Van Kuijk's discography reflects their extensive exploration of both classical and romantic repertoire, with a particular flair for French music. Their recordings, including the intricate works of Mendelssohn in "Complete String Quartets, Vol. 1 and 2," the timeless elegance of Mozart in "Mozart: Quartets K.387 & 421, Divertimento K.138" and the more recent "Mozart: String Quintets K. 515 & 516," as well as the emotional depth of Schubert in "Quartets Nos. 10 & 14 'Death and the Maiden,'" showcase their versatility and commitment to musical excellence. Their interpretation of early 20th-century French compositions, as heard in "Debussy, Ravel & Chausson," has been particularly lauded for its fresh and vivid insights into the genre. With such a distinguished trajectory, Quatuor Van Kuijk continues to enchant audiences and critics alike with their intelligent programming and intimate musical conversation.
