Info:
This dynamic Czech string quartet stands as one of the most prestigious chamber ensembles of today according to Gramophone -the "classical music Oscars," who awarded them for their performance of the one great Antonin Dvorak's String Quartets. After the quartet's 2012 SF debut, SF Classical Voice described their artistry as one "With large, commanding tone, vibrant energy, and palpable passion, the quartet presented a memorable calling card."
The Pavel Haas Quartet was founded in 2002 and named in honor of Pavel Haas (1899-1944), a pupil of Leos Janacek and one of the most distinguished Czech composers of the first half of the 20th century.
Since its foundation the Pavel Haas Quartet has closely collaborated with Prof. Milan Skampa, violist of the legendary Smetana Quartet, who studied with such world-renowned quartet musicians as Walter Levin (LaSalle Q.), Piero Farulli (Q. Italiano), Norbert Brainin (Amadeus Q.), Hatto Bayerle (Alban Berg Q.), Valentin Berlinski (Borodin Q.), Christophe Coin (Q. Mosaiques), etc.
In 2004 the Pavel Haas Quartet received the Vittorio E. Rimbotti award in Florence, in 2005 won the Prague Spring International Music Competition and a mere month later first prize and the prize for best performance of a Sir Peter Maxwell Davies composition at one of the most prestigious international quartet competitions, the Premio Paolo Borciani in Reggio Emilia, Italy, which opened the path to prominent stages worldwide. In 2006 the ensemble received the Czech Chamber Music Society Award.
