The founding members of the Kubin Quartet were violinists Jan Kubin and Marek Zwiebel, violist Petr Holman, and cellist Jan Keller. All four musicians had extensive experience playing in various orchestras and chamber groups before coming together to form the Kubin Quartet. Their shared love for chamber music and their desire to explore the rich repertoire of string quartets led them to form the ensemble. The Kubin Quartet quickly gained recognition for their exceptional musicianship and their ability to bring a fresh perspective to classical music. They were praised for their technical precision, their expressive playing, and their ability to create a seamless blend of sound that was both powerful and nuanced.
