The V4 String Quartet is dedicated to exploring the richness of Hungary's musical heritage and sharing it in an international context. In 2026 the ensemble begins a special project marking the centenary of György Kurtág's birth, performing all of his works for string quartet. The initiative celebrates the legacy of one of the most influential composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, while reflecting on the expressive depth, richness of nuance and intellectual beauty of his music. For the quartet the project is not just a series of concerts but a meaningful artistic journey, paying tribute to a visionary composer whose work continues to inspire musicians and audiences around the world.
