We introduced Quatuor Bozzini in this series in Novemebr 2007. Formed in 1999, the quartet is now in its second decade. Clemens Merkel, violin, Mira Benjamin, violin, Stéphanie Bozzini, viola, and Isabelle Bozzini, cello, present new, contemporary, experimental and classical music in both traditional concerts and avant-garde events. The quartet presents its own annual season of concerts in Montréal, the Série GB, that includes Le Salon des compositeurs (Composers’ Salon) and the Composer’s Kitchen, a week-long workshop and concert event. Quatuor Bozzini has won many awards in Quebec and Europe, including the prestigious Ernst von Siemens Music Award. (Other winners: Bernstein, Boulez, Brendel and the Arditti quartets.) Quatuor Bozzini tours Europe, the US, and Canada. In 2004 the quartet created its own recording label, collection QB, in collaboration with Dame / Actuelle CD.
