Quartetto Mitja

**Quartetto Mitja** was formed in 2008 and consists of four musicians from diverse backgrounds, including Naples, Benevento, Potenza, and La Serena (Chile). Their ensemble's name "Mitja" is a shortened form of Dimitrij, though further details about the origin of the name are not provided. The quartet has been actively involved in recording various string quartet compositions. Notably, they have released volumes dedicated to Donizetti's string quartets, as well as works by figures like Malipiero.

Their recent releases include **String Quartets Vol.4**, **String Quartets Vol.3**, and the two-part **Donizetti: String Quartets** series. Additionally, they have recorded **Malipiero: String Quartets Nos. 1 & 8 and Sinfonia No. 6**. These recordings reflect their focus on bringing lesser-known but important works in the string quartet repertoire to a wider audience. While specific details about their performances or the quartet members' individual backgrounds are limited, their dedication to preserving and promoting classical music is evident through their discography.
