Dudok Quartet Amsterdam

The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam is forging a reputation as one of the most creative and versatile quartets of its generation. With its ethos of ‘sharing the heart of music’, the quartet believes that chamber music is an act of friendship and play to be shared directly with audiences, and is committed to crafting unique and eclectic programmes that engage listeners in imaginative ways. Constantly searching for and building new musical connections, the players present repertoire ranging from Ligeti and Bacewicz to Mendelssohn and Beethoven, and often create their own arrangements. They are also committed to commissioning new works and have collaborated with composers including Joey Roukens, Peter Vigh and Theo Loevendie. In 2024 they premiered a new piece by British–Lebanese composer Bushra El-Turk. Another current repertoire highlight is Steve Reich’s Different Trains, for which they made their own recording of the accompanying tape track. The group has performed at many of Europe’s major venues and festivals and recently made their Australian debut. Forthcoming highlights include recitals at Stockholm Concert Hall, Milton Court and Wigmore Hall and they perform John Adams’ Absolute Jest with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and Vasily Petrenko at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw.
