„... fresh and gripping...” - The Sunday Times

"...l’interprétation par le groupe du presque expérimental Quatuor n° 15 opus 124 [de Weinberg] (1979) se révèle passionnante et n’appelle que des éloges (...) les Karski font montre d’une alacrité et d’une implication idéales : nos musiciens projettent en pleine lumière et sans compromis le fil discursif de l’œuvre, entre linéarité des enchaînements, symétries en arche des mouvements et effet de mémoire générés par de courts motifs récurrents, avec une maîtrise collective assez incroyable au vu de la récente création de la formation." - resmusica.com

Known for their energetic and emotionally rich interpretations, the Karski Quartet create a powerful bond with audiences, captivating both classical music connoisseurs and a new generation of listeners. Their warm sound, expressive intensity and relentless pursuit of excellence have earned them international recognition.

The quartet takes its name from Jan Karski, the legendary Polish WW2 resistance fighter. His unwavering courage continues to inspire the musicians in their artistic pursuits as well as in their daily lives. In a world full of challenges, Karski Quartet stands for connection, authenticity and fearless musical storytelling.

St. George Quintet | www.stgeorgequintet.com

Two violins (Liesbeth Baelus and Kaja Nowak), viola (Diede Verpoest), cello (Wouter Vercruysse) and double bass (Bram Decroix) is a not-so-conventional setting and thus a very versatile repertoire. Next to well known and loved pieces like the Dvorak quintet, the SGQ performs many rarely heard works from composers such as Onslow, Bliss, F.S.Kelly, has worked together with guitar, marimba and trombone players, co-created a music-theatre performance, and even presented their own arrangements of songs by The Beatles and Queen.

The St. George Quintet is a laureate of Supernova 2016, a competition for young chamber music ensembles organised in cooperation with the Belgian classical music radio station Klara. The SGQ has recorded two CD albums, British Legends (with music by Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Bliss and F.S. Kelly, released by Pavane Records in 2016) and Bohemia Express (with works by Dvořák, Janáček and Suk, produced by Rachel Smith - Ophelia Productions, and released in February 2019).

Les Métamorphoses | www.lesmetamorphoses.be

Inspired by the work of Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Sir Roger Norrington, the instrumentalists of the Les Métamorphoses orchestra have given themselves the task of creating a sonority that is most suited to this era by combining modern and early instruments (natural horns and trumpets, early kettledrums, double bass with gut strings etc.). Founded by Camille and Raphaël Feye, the ensemble is made up of musicians chosen for their commitment and interest in historically informed practice and performance.
