Welcome to the website of the Rasumovsky String Quartet.

The roots of the Rasumovsky Quartet reach back beyond their formation in 1984 through friendships and shared musical experiences. The style of the quartet is traditional by choice, seeking to find the varied tone colours and generally more moderate pace of previous generations of chamber music players.

Establishing all Beethoven’s 17 Quartets in performance was an early priority for this ensemble, but the large repertoire of the quartet’s last twenty years covers a wide range of music – from contemporary British quartets to early classics sometimes played with transitional bows and gut strings.
