Czech Philharmonic Quartet

The Czech Philharmonic Quartet was founded in 2000 on the initiative of members of the Czech Philharmonic. The sound of the quartet, which is typical for the Czech quartet school, is highly regarded by the critics.

The Czech Philharmonic Quartet appears regularly in the chamber music series of the Czech Philharmonic and at festivals and concert series in the Czech Republic and abroad (Great Britain, Luxembourg, Germany, Japan, Israel, China, Slovakia).

The quartet participated in the Japanese version of the “Mozart Effect” and recorded a whole series of Mozart compositions as part of that project. The ensemble has recorded Mozart’s “Haydn Quartets” and “Prussian Quartets” for the Japanese label Octavia Records.

Classical music concerts in Rudolfinum are truly an unforgettable experience

Rudolfinum is the most famous concert building in Prague and the seat of the Czech Philharmonic. Its two concert halls stage the most prominent concerts such as the Prague Spring Festival.The elegant Neo-Renaissance building of Rudolfinum was built between 1876-1884 by Česká Spořitelna (Czech Savings Bank) on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its foundation.

The bulding was conceived as a multipurpose cultural center with a concert hall and exhibition halls. The building was taken under the patronage of the heir of the Habsburg throne, the archduke Rudolph after whom the building was named. Between 1919 and 1941 Rudolfinum served temporarily as an assembly hall of Czech Parliament.

Since then it has functioned as a concert hall, exhibition space, and a seat of the Czech Philharmonic. The intimate Suk Hall with excellent acoustics hosts chamber classical concerts, such as string quartets or piano recitals. Festive atmosphere and great concerts held in Rudolfinum will not let you forget this exceptional space.

The Czech Philharmonic string quartet was absolutely fantastic! I attend a lot of chamber music events wherever I go and this was one of the best I've seen. Wish the Czech Philharmonic was in season so I could have seen the entire orchestra as well! Would definitely recommend if you enjoy classical music or want to experience the sounds of some of the most famous compositions from this part of the world.
