Musicians

The Atenea Quartet, born in 2019 in Barcelona, is positioned as one of the most relevant quartets of its generation. Throughout his young career he has won significant awards such as the Prix Jeunes Solistes Credit Suisse 2023, being the first quartet to obtain this distinction, and El Primer Palau 2022 (First Prize, Critics’ Prize, JJMM Spain Extraordinary Prize, audience and Catalunya Music Award).

Despite its youth, the ensemble has been invited to perform throughout Europe in venues and festivals such as the Lucerne Festival, the Barcelona String Quartet Biennial, the Vilabertran Schubertíada, the Musikdorf Ernen Festival, the Kulturfest Resonanzen Sils, the Wissembourg International Music Festival, the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and the Juan March Foundation, among others.

Currently, the ensemble continues its musical training at the Hochschule für Musik FHNW in Basel, under the advice of Rainer Schmidt (Hagen Quartet), Silvia Simionescu (Gringolts Quartet), Claudio Martínez Mehner, Anton Kernjak and Anna Gebert. Previously, he formed with the Casals Quartet, during his time in Barcelona.

In addition, the ensemble has participated in renowned academies and masterclasses such as the Prussia Cove International Seminar (Claus-Christian Schuster), the Swiss Chamber Academy (Heinz Holliger), Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland’s International Chamber Music Campus (Donald Weilerstein) and Festival Aix-En-Provence (Quatuor Diotima).
