The internationally celebrated Kelemen Quartet is the award winner of such chamber music competitions as the Premio Paolo Borciani, the Beijing International Music Festival and Academy and the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition. Called by a reviewer “the most electrifying string quartet” of recent times, the group is a frequent guest of such renowned concert halls as the Carnegie Hall, which featured them at its own concert series, the Wigmore Hall, the Concertgebouw and the Philharmonie Berlin. They regularly perform at leading international showcases of chamber music, including the festivals of Lockenhaus, Colmar, West Cork and Ravenna. Over and above their European appearances, the Kelemen Quartet has toured Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Central and North America. They frequently appear in concert with such world-famous artists as Joshua Bell, Andreas Ottensamer, Pekka Kuusisto, Maxim Rysanov, Nicolas Altstaedt, Péter Frankl, José Gallardo and Ferenc Rados. In December 2020, after two new members joined them, they started work on Bartók’s string quartets, six works that span the entire œuvre, with help from Ferenc Rados, who acted as their mentor.
