The Bennewitz Quartet awarded at the Classic Prague Awards 2018

Classic Prague Awards 2018 have announced winners in the category of „Best Chamber Music Performance“. The award was handed over to the Bennewitz Quartet for their performance of String Quartet No. 3 by Robert Schumann, String Quartet in D minor by Franz Schubert and String Quartet No. 3, H 183 by Bohuslav Martinů on January 29, 2018.

The Bennewitz Quartet is one of the top international chamber ensembles, a status confirmed not only by their victories in two prestigious competitions – Osaka in 2005 and Prémio Paolo Borciani, Italy in 2008, but also by the acclaim of the critics. The Bennewitz Quartet especially enjoys playing and performing on the Czech domestic music scene. Particular highlights have included their cooperation with the Czech Philharmonic and its former chief conductor Jiří Bělohlávek in 2012, with whom they performed Bohuslav Martinů’s Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra.
