In an age remarkably rich in string quartets of high quality, the Merel Quartet is, in my opinion, one of the very best.
Winners of the “Golden Bow” 2025 of the Violin Making School Brienz and Festival Meiringen, the Merel Quartet have been captivating audiences since 2002. Commended for their stylistic awareness, maturity of expression and command of form, the quartet are known for their exceptional communicative power and have received unanimous praise:
