The Apollon Musagète Quartett consists of four young Polish musicians. After completing their studies as solo concert performers and beginning their activities as soloists and orchestral musicians in leading positions, they decided instead to go for a common future in a quartet formation. The Apollon Musagète Quartett was founded in 2006 in Vienna. Only two years later, it won First Prize in the International ARD Music Competition in Munich. Its career has progressed at lightning speed ever since. In the meantime, the quartet has debuted in some of Europe’s most important halls, including Munich’s Herkulessaal, the Berlin Philharmonie and London’s Wigmore Hall. In the current season, the ensemble is booked for concerts in the Dresden Philharmonie, the Fruchthalle Kaiserslautern, the Schwetzingen Festspiele, the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival and more. Appearances in the Philharmonie in Cologne, Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam are planned for 2011. The Apollon Musagète Quartett’s debut CD shows various sides of its work: the Viennese Classic in a modern interpretation, the great romantic repertoire as well as works of Polish composers. In addition, the CD contains the compulsory work for string quartet commissioned by the ARD International Music Composition in 2008: Rodion Shchedrin’s “Lyric Scenes”, for which the AMQ additionally won a special prize, over and above its First Prize. “Of all the quartets of the younger generation that I know, I consider the Apollon Musagéte Quartett to be the best. I predict a great career for this group!” Gunther Pichler, Alban Berg Quartett
