The documentary "Artemis The Neverending Quartet" is nominated for the prestigious "Golden Calf Award" in the category "The best short documentary of the Year 2020". For over a year the wonderful Dutch director Hester Overmars has followed the Artemis quartet on their journey into a new future with wonderful intuition and flair. Full of wistfulness and hope, this movie is a masterly study of coexistence in music.
The 30th anniversary of the Artemis Quartet in 2019 will see two new members joining the ensemble.
It was our long-held wish to record the Piano Quintet Op. 57 with Elizabeth Leonskaja that gave rise to this, the Artemis Quartet’s first Shostakovich album.
