The Belcea Quartet was founded at the Royal College of Music in 1994. Since then it has gained an enviable reputation as one of the world’s leading ensembles of its kind. Its diverse repertory ranges from world premieres on a regular basis, by the likes of Turnage, Penderecki and Larcher, to a profound connection with great works of the Classical and Romantic periods. Although based in Great Britain, the quartet’s members are Romanian, Polish and French. Together they blend their diverse influences and backgrounds into a common musical language. The Belcea recently became Quartet Artist-in-Residence at the new Pierre Boulez Saal Berlin. Additionally, the quartet has shared a residency at the Konzerthaus in Vienna with the Artemis Quartett (also appearing in the LMMC series this season) since 2010. During its long-term association with EMI Classics, the quartet recorded the complete Britten and Bartók quartets as well as works by Schubert, Brahms, Mozart, Debussy, Ravel and Dutilleux, among others. In 2012 and 2013, the quartet recorded the complete Beethoven quartets live for the label ZigZag Territories and the same cycle from the Vienna Konzerthaus on DVD for Euroarts.  Return engagement.

Depuis sa création en 1994, au Royal College of Music de Londres, le Belcea Quartet poursuit une carrière exemplaire en donnant plus d’une centaine de concerts par an à travers le monde. Réputé pour ses interprétations alliant liberté, élégance et intensité, le quatuor Belcea s’intéresse non seulement au répertoire classique et romantique, mais égale-ment à celui des 20e et 21e siècles en proposant fréquemment des créations d’œuvres con-temporaines tels le quatuor de Turnage, en 2010, ou celui de Penderecki en 2016. Sa disco-graphie comprend l’intégrale des quatuors de Beethoven, de Bartók et de Britten, tout comme des œuvres de Mozart, Schubert, Dutilleux, ou des compositeurs de la Seconde école de Vienne. Des critiques élogieuses et plusieurs récompenses dont l’ECHO Klassik Award, ont couronné ces enregistrements. L’intégrale des quatuors de Brahms, enregistrée en 2016, a reçu un Diapason d’or et un ECHO Klassik. Durant la saison 2018-2019, le quatuor Belcea donnera en création mondiale le dernier quatuor à cordes de Joseph Phibbs. 2e fois au LMMC.

      About Author

      Founded in 1892 by a group of women amateur musicians, the LMMC embarks on its 125th season of uninterrupted musical activity. Originally all concerts were given by active members with the occasional assistance of local professionals. In 1895 the Club brought to Montreal the Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, whose recital was such a success that the Ladies increasingly engaged international artists. Horowitz, Serkin, Rubinstein, Heifetz, Milstein, Stern, Rampal, Piatigorsky, Tortelier, Yo-Yo Ma, Lehmann, Ferrier, Souzay, the Budapest, Amadeus, Juilliard Quartets, the Beaux Arts Trio, are but a sampling of those who have performed and, in many cases, made their Montreal debuts at the Club. The long list of Canadian artists includes Saucier, Chamberland, Forrester, Alarie, Donalda, Simoneau, Gould, Turini, the Orford Quartet. The LMMC is a non-profit organization, managed by a volunteer committee. Admission is open to all on a subscription or single-ticket basis.
