One of the most inspiring, dynamic and charismatic ensembles on
the music scene, the members of
the Atrium Quartet have established
themselves as performers of deep emotion, intellect, virtuosity and technical
brilliance. Highly acclaimed by audiences and the press, the quartet
has performed throughout the world. The quartet was founded
in 2000 by students of the St Petersburg State Rimsky-Korsakov
Conservatoire (class of Professor Joseph Levinson, a cellist with
the famed Taneyev Quartet). The Atrium Quartet
became the first Russian ensemble to win two major international quartet
competitions – the IX International String Quartet Competition
in London (2003) and the V International String Quartet
Competition in Bordeaux (2007). The emergence of the quartet
was also marked by wins at international competitions in Moscow, Cremona
and Weimar in 2001 and 2002. Successful appearances at such competitions
opened the door to the world’s great concert venues, among them
the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall and the Royal
Festival Hall in London, the concert hall of the Library of
Congress (Washington, USA), the Palau de la Mъsica in Barcelona,
the Bozar in Brussels and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.
This season, the Atrium Quartet is offering audiences
the unique opportunity to hear all fifteen of Shostakovich’s quartets over
the course of a few days. In the 2014–2015 season
the quartet plans to commemorate the one hundred and seventy-fifth
anniversary of the birth of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with a marathon
programme including all of the great Russian composer’s chamber works.
The members of the quartet currently live and work in Berlin.
The musicians perform on instruments made by Italian master
craftsmen – two violins made by Paolo Castello (1770 and 1773),
a viola by Lorenzo Carcassi (1775) and a cello by Giovanni
Battista Ceruti (1798).
