In an expertly considered programme, the Berlin-based ensemble brought together classical revolutionaries with modern homage to shine fascinating light on the form.

Good hunting and friendly conversation

Mendelssohn, Bach, Piazzolla and Brahms with the Artemis Quartet at mozart@augsburg

Philip May, 7th September

The Mozartkirche, a grand Catholic church in Biberbach, provided a somewhat reverential setting for the sixth concert in the mozart@augsburg series. It was also a distinct contrast to the elaborate Small Golden Hall in which the previous evening’s concert, “Chamber Music Pearls”, was held.

Dallas Chamber Music presents the Artemis Quartet: Mendelssohn, Ginastera, and Schubert

Bachtrack reviewer, 11th March

Caught completely unawares – hearing a group I wasn’t familiar with, and on a Monday evening at that – I ended up seeing the Artemis Quartet give the best performance of any kind that I’ve experienced in quite a while.

All Beethoven Programme by the Artemis Quartet

Nahoko Gotoh, 22nd January

In their sold-out all Beethoven concert at the Wigmore Hall, the two violinists of the Artemis Quartet switched places during the interval. Gregor Sigl played first violin in the op.18-4 and op. 135 quartets, and after the interval Natalia Prishepenko led in the popular Razumovsky No. 1 quartet.
