Kvarteto Kvartet (QxQ)
A two-day Opava festival brings together four string quartets from the Visegrád countries and talks with the performers.
The Szigeti Quartet formed in Budapest in 2017. Its players come from Hungary's leading orchestras: first violin Nagao Haruka has been concertmaster of the Hungarian State Opera since 2016; second violin is Németh Nóra; viola Ludmány Dénes joined the National Philharmonic in 2018; cello is Rózsa Richárd, solo cellist of the MÁV Symphony Orchestra. The name honours violinist József Szigeti. In 2023 they recorded Florian Leopold Gassmann's oboe quartets and quintets with Lajos Lencsés for CPO. They appear at chamber festivals from the United States across Europe to Japan, and regularly at Budapest's Óbudai Társaskör.
