Noûs (nùs) is a Greek word meaning ‘mind’, and thence ‘rationality’, but also ‘inspiration’ and ‘creativity’.
Quartetto Noûs, formed in 2011, has established itself in a short time as one of the most interesting chamber music ensemble of its generation. Its immersive performances are the result of a professional training where the Italian tradition and the most influential European schools are combined.
The quartet studied with the Quartetto di Cremona at the Accademia Walter Stauffer in Cremona, at the Basel Musik Akademie with Rainer Schmidt (Hagen Quartet), at the Escuela Superior de Música ‘Reina Sofia’ in Madrid and at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena with Günter Pichler (Alban Berg Quartet) and at the Lübeck Musikhochschule with Heime Müller (Artemis Quartet).
The quartet performs regularly in Germany, Switzerland, UK, France, Spain, Canada, United States, South Korea and China, with performances broadcast on several radio stations such as Venice Classic Radio, Radio Clásica, RSI and Radio 3.
In 2021 the quartet will start a project to record all the Shostakovich string quartets with the label Brilliant Classics.
