Stamic Quartet

The Stamic Quartet, founded in 1985 and named after Czech classical composer Jan Václav Stamic, is a Prague-based ensemble celebrated for breathing fiery life into Czech chamber music and 20th-century works. Composed of members from the Czech Philharmonic, these players blend technical precision with warm, storytelling energy, championing both iconic composers like Bohuslav Martinů and lesser-known figures such as Josef Bohuslav Foerster or Karel Kovařovic. Their recent releases — like *Mucha: Chamber Music* and *Gubaidulina: Complete String Quartets* — showcase their knack for unearthing overlooked gems while balancing contemporary edge with Romantic-era soul. Whether tackling Sofia Gubaidulina’s haunting modernism or Antonín Reicha’s Classical-era dialogues, they’ve become go-to interpreters for labels like Supraphon, earning praise for making even the densest Czech repertoire feel vividly human.
