Founded in 2003, the Modigliani Quartet is recognised as one of today\u2019s most sought- after quartets, featuring regularly in prominent international series and on the world\u2019s most prestigious stages.

After reviving the Rencontres Musicales Evian in 2014, of which they assured the artistic direction for 8 years, the quartet was entrusted with the artistic direction of the Bordeaux International String Quartet Competition in 2020. As part of their festival \u201cVibre !\u201d, the quartet counts some of the great-est quartets and chamber music ensembles amongst their guests artists. Through masterclasses and workshops, the festival provides an ideal environment to work with and mentor the young gen-eration, a mission at the heart of the quartet\u2019s activities. The quartet is also the founder of the Saint-Paul-de-Vence Festival and the Arcachon Chamber Music Festival, both created in 2011.
\nThe Modigliani Quartet\u2019s rich collaboration with the record label Mirare has led to 15 recordings rep-resentative of their vast repertoire (Schubert, Mozart, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Bartok…), winning numerous awards in France and abroad (Choc de Classica, Diapason d\u2019Or…).<\/p>\n
The Modigliani Quartet also performs and commissions a wide range of contemporary works from composers including Marc-Antony Turnage, Philippe Hersant, Peter Vasks, Kaija Saariaho and Evgeny Kissin.
\nA year after their founding, the Modigliani Quartet won three First Prizes successively at the Eindhoven International Competition (2004), the Vittorio Rimbotti in Florence (2005) and the prestigious Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York (2006). Following studies with the Ysa\u00ffe Quartet and masterclasses with Walter Levin and Gyorgy Kurtag, the Modigliani Quartet were invited to work with the Artemis Quartet at the Berlin Universit\u00e4t der K\u00fcnste.
\nThe quartet enjoys cultivating close friendships with their chamber music partners, amongst them artists such as Sabine Meyer, Renaud and Gauthier Capu\u00e7on, Jean-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Neuberger, Beatrice Rana, Michel Dalberto, Fazil Say, Augustin Dumay, Amihai Grosz, Gary Hoffman, Paul Meyer, Michel Portal and Daniel M\u00fcller-Schott.<\/p>\n

Amaury Coeytaux performs on a 1773 Guadagnini violin Lo\u00efc Rio performs on a 1780 Guadagnini violin, Laurent Marfaing performs on a 1660 Mariani viola, Fran\u00e7ois Kieffer performs on a 1706 Matteo Goffriller “”ex-Warburg”” cello.
\n\u201cThe communion with a confidential soul, the discovery of indescribable colours, the admiration of a remarkable message whose ideas never cease to evolve and inspire… This is part of a distinctive journey that will leave an everlasting mark upon us. The recording of the Octet two years ago was just the initial building block of a project dear to us, one that we now see fulfilled through this immersion dedicated to Schubert.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
