Janáček Quartet

String Quartet

Janáček Quartet is one of the longest established chamber music ensembles active today. Formed in 1947 by the students of the Conservatory of Brno, originally under the name JAMU Quartet, the ensemble changed its name to Janáček Quartet early on to honour the Moravian composer Leoš Janáček and their close musical ties. The quartet gradually expanded its repertoire to Dvořák, Smetana, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Shostakovitch, Martinů, and Erwín Schulhoff. In 2017 Deutsche Grammophon released a CD box of Janáček Quartet’s complete recordings on the label, marking the ensemble’s 70 years of music making. Highlights of their past and recent engagements include Edinburgh Festival, Wigmore Hall, Palau de la Música in Valencia, Bologna‘s Teatro Manzoni, Tokyo Bunkakaikan Hall and Seoul Arts Centre, collaborating with such renowned artists as Boris Berezovský, Raphael Wallfisch, Ivo Kahánek and Josef Špaček among others.
