About the artist Artemis Qt

The Berlin-based Artemis Qt was founded at the Lübeck Musikhochschule in 1989. Walter Levin, the Emerson Qt, the Julliard Qt and the Alban Berg Qt have been and remain important teachers and mentors for the quartet. Since 1994 the four players have performed as a professional ensemble, quickly gaining a reputation as one of the leading ensembles of their generation. The ensemble's international stature was established by winning First Prizes at the ARD Competition in 1996 and soon thereafter First Prize at the Premio Borciani. Rather than pitch themselves into the tempting fast track of career success, the members of the Artemis Qt instead immersed themselves in further study in 1998 the ensemble spent a year in residence with the Alban Berg Qt in Vienna followed by a three month sabbatical at Berlin's Wissenschaftskolleg. Their debut at the Berlin Philharmonie in June of 1999 marked the formal start of their career. A new phase of the chamber group's life began in July 2007 with Gregor Sigl and Friedemann Weigle becoming members of the string quartet. High praise comes from a discriminating voice. In a review written about the string quartet, the daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has stated that there are many good string quartets performing. However, among the very good quartets playing internationally, the "Artemis ensemble is the best." The reason: "Ranging from Beethoven to Ligeti, their performances overflow with fullness of sound, delineated structure and unparalleled drama." In recognition of the ensemble's contribution to the interpretation of Beethoven's music, the Verein des Beethoven-Hauses Bonn conferred honorary membership to the Artemis Quartet in 2003. In 2004 the quartet won the 23rd "Premio Internazionale Accademia Musicale Chigiana" in Siena, Italy. At the 2008 prestigious Classic FM Gramophone Awards, the Artemis Quartet were awarded the Chamber Award for their recording of the Piano Quintets by Brahms and Schumann with Leif Ove Andsnes.
