Kelemen Quartet


Orchestra, choir, ensemble

 
The Kelemen Quartet was established in the year 2010 and soon became one of Hungary's leading young string quartets.

During the first year of workshop activities they have played at private lessons for artists such as Günter Pichler (Alban Berg Quartet), Ferenc Rados, Zoltán Kocsis, András Schiff, Gábor Takács-Nagy and András Keller among others.

One of the specialities of the ensemble is that Barnabás Gábor and Katalin are all equally comfortable both on the violin and on the viola so they’ve learnt all violin and the viola parts of most of the pieces they play.

The Kelemen Quartet has recently released it's first debut DVD and is about to record their debut CD in 2010.

The string quartet has toured in Switzerland – Germany – Italy – Croatia and played at several festivals throughout Hungary with musicians such as Joshua Bell, Joseph Lendvay, Pekka Kuusisto etc.

In the year 2011 the quartet will have it’s debut North American tour with stations at New York, Dallas and Indianapolis among other cities.
