Biography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“An energy never seen in the string quartet genre. The communication is so alive and so  beautiful to watch, generously giving the audience access to the splendors of  the score.\u201d
Hubert Stoecklin, Classique News <\/em>

Founded in 2018 at the Conservatoire National Sup\u00e9rieur de Musique de Paris, Mona Quartet represents the unity of four international musical personalities, establishing immediately a presence in the French capital at such venues as the Pierre Boulez Hall of the Philharmonie de Paris, the Petit Palais, Salle Cortot, Radio France\u2019s Studio 104 as well as a feature on \u201cG\u00e9n\u00e9rations France Musique.\u201d In January 2020, they were selected among the most promising young quartets from the world to perform at the Biennale of String Quartets at the Cit\u00e9 de la Musique. The quartet has performed with artists such as Emmanuel Pahud, Abdel Rahman El Bacha, Paul Meyer, Philippe Graffin and Marie-Joseph Jude, giving debut concerts at the Edinburgh International Festival, Festival de Salon-de-Provence, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Pernoo\u2019s Festival \u201cLes Vacances de Monsieur Haydn\u201d, Festival Debussy and Festival de Dinard.

In the 2020\/2021 season, they will give recitals at the Elbphilharmonie Laeiszhalle Hamburg, the Festival Quartettissimo in Hungary, and many more.  
In 2019, they have been named Artists in Residence at ProQuartet in Paris, the Foundation Villa Musica in Germany, Dimore del Quartetto in Italy, Live Music Now and the Escuela Reina Sofia in Madrid with G\u00fcnther Pichler (Alban Berg Quartet).
