ChicagoClassicalReview.com praises the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam’s “unflappably elegant style” and “sublime, incandescent” playing. 2018 winner of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust award, the quartet has also received the coveted Kersjes Prize (The Netherlands’ highest honor for a chamber ensemble) and numerous Editor’s Choice awards from Gramophone magazine. The ensemble’s recent projects have included the world premiere of the Kaija Saariaho opera Only the Sound Remains with Philippe Jaroussky and the Dutch National Opera, as well as a collaboration with director Rosabel Huguet re-imagining Beethoven’s Op. 132 String Quartet for children. The group’s 2023 release, Circus Dinogad—a project conceived with contralto Hilary Summers and the theorbo and bass clarinet duo of Mike Fentross and Maarten Ornstein—traverses eras and genres, from Renaissance lute songs, folk songs, and lullabies to a newly-composed set of works covering the Seven Deadly Sins.
