The Archimede Quartet

Born in 1999 as the result of an encounter between four Sicilian musicians, trained by the most authoritative string instrument interpreters and teachers, the Archimede Quartet is nowadays able to present a repertoire including the masterpieces of camber music from all eras. Having won many national and international awards, this group has performed at the Emilia Romagna Festival, at the Settimane Musicali Bresciane, the Ost-West Musik Fest, the Festivals of Ljubljana, Genoa, Nancy, Estoril, and Nafliono. The quartet has toured all of Europe, Egypt and Mexic and made recordings for Mediaset, Classico, Dauphine-Italia, The Vatican Radio, Phoenix, and Dynamic. The specialised press wrote the following about the Archimede Quartet: «These musicians are sophisticated interpreters presenting us with slow sighs, phrasing capable of proving beautiful effects, powerful and yet always soft and controlled sonorities…» (L’Est Républicain). At the Filarmonica Laudamo we will hear two of some of the most beautiful pieces of chamber music from the Classical-Romantic era: Mozart’s quartet entitled “The Hunt” and Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden”.
