The Quatuor Van Kuijk burst upon the international scene a decade ago when made a clean sweep of the top prizes at the 2015 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition, winning the First Prize as well as the prizes for the best Beethoven and Haydn interpretations. Similar success followed at the Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition, where they won the Audience Prize as well as the First Prize. They went on to become laureates of the Aix-en-Provence Festival Academy, BBC New Generation Artists of 2015-2017, and ECHO Rising Stars for the 2017/18 season, one of the most prestigious of the German chamber-music awards.

Since then, the Quatuor Van Kuijk has become an established presence at major international venues including the Philharmonie de Paris, Auditorium du Louvre, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, and Salle Gaveau, Paris; the Tonhalle, Zurich; Wiener Konzerthaus and Musikverein, Vienna; Royal Concertgebouw, Amsterdam; the Philharmonie in Berlin; and Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, among many others. Upcoming tours will see the quartet make highly anticipated debuts at the Carnegie Hall in New York City, Sydney Opera House, and Shanghai Symphony Hall. 

The Quatuor Van Kuijk records exclusively for Alpha Classics. Their debut recording of Mozart was released to outstanding critical acclaim, winning the Choc de Classica, Diapason d’or découverte awards of the two leading French Classical music reviews. Following celebrated discs of Debussy, Ravel, and Schubert, they return their exploration of Mozart with two further releases this season. The first features the Quartets K. 421 and K. 387, and the second presents the Quintets K. 515 and K. 516 with violist Adrien La Marca. The Van Kuijk Quartet is supported by Pirastro and Spedidam, and is grateful to Anima Music Foundation and Mécénat Musical Société Générale for their sponsorships.
