The Capuçon Quartet is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2017 by four renowned musicians: violinist Renaud Capuçon, violinist Guillaume Chilemme, violist Adrien La Marca, and cellist François Salque. The quartet has quickly gained recognition for their exceptional musicianship and dynamic performances. Renaud Capuçon, the quartet's first violinist, is a world-renowned soloist who has performed with some of the most prestigious orchestras in the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic. He has also collaborated with many of the world's leading conductors, such as Daniel Barenboim, Gustavo Dudamel, and Valery Gergiev. Capuçon has won numerous awards throughout his career, including the Victoires de la Musique and the ECHO Klassik. Guillaume Chilemme, the quartet's second violinist, is also a highly acclaimed soloist and chamber musician. He has performed with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the Orchestre de Paris, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. Chilemme has won several awards, including the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis and the International Violin Competition of Sion. Adrien La Marca, the quartet's violist, is a rising star in the classical music world. He has performed with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the Orchestre National de France, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. La Marca has won several awards, including the Young Soloist Prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition. François Salque, the quartet's cellist, is a highly respected soloist and chamber musician. He has performed with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the Orchestre de Paris, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic. Salque has won several awards, including the International Tchaikovsky Competition and the International Rostropovich Competition. The Capuçon Quartet's founding was a natural progression for the four musicians, who had already collaborated extensively in various chamber music settings. The quartet's formation was announced in 2017, and they made their debut performance at the Festival de Pâques in Aix-en-Provence, France, in April of that year. Since their debut, the Capuçon Quartet has performed at many of the world's leading concert halls and festivals, including the Berlin Philharmonie, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, and the Salzburg Festival. They have also collaborated with many of the world's leading musicians, including pianist Martha Argerich and cellist Gautier Capuçon, Renaud's brother. The quartet's repertoire is diverse, ranging from classical works by Mozart and Beethoven to contemporary pieces by living composers such as Thomas Adès and Jörg Widmann. They are known for their dynamic and expressive performances, which have been praised by critics and audiences alike. The Capuçon Quartet has also received several awards and accolades since their formation. In 2018, they were awarded the prestigious Diapason d'Or for their debut album, which featured works by Mozart and Schumann. They were also named "Rising Stars" by the European Concert Hall Organisation for the 2019-2020 season, which led to performances at some of Europe's leading concert halls. In addition to their performances, the Capuçon Quartet is also committed to music education and outreach.
