Quatuor Enesco

The Quatuor Enesco is a classical string quartet ensemble founded in 1979, originally known as "Quatuor Athenaeum" and sometimes performing under the name "Quatuor Athenaeum-Enesco". The quartet was named after the renowned Romanian composer Georges Enesco, showcasing a deep appreciation for his legacy. Their repertoire includes a wide range of classical and contemporary works, often featuring pieces by various composers, including a focus on Enesco's contributions to chamber music. The ensemble has a rich history of collaborating with notable artists and performing at significant music festivals across Europe.

Their recent releases reflect a diverse musical palette, including interpretations of works by Schubert, Janacek, and Enesco himself, as well as thematic albums like "Kol Nidre - 8 visions," which explores Jewish classical music. Despite their broad repertoire, the quartet's core identity is rooted in honoring Enesco's musical heritage while pushing the boundaries of chamber music collaboration.
