Noga Quartet, Grand Prize, MICMC 2015
Since winning first prize in the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in 2015, the quartet has been invited to perform in Germany, Austria, Scandinavia, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium and France.
The Noga Quartet follows the great tradition of chamber music that enthrals in performances of some of the greatest compositions of the string quartet repertoire.
For the Noga Quartet, string quartet playing is the pinnacle of musical expression. “We love working together. Conveying life in this music is what we are about. There is nothing more satisfying than celebrating the great string quartet repertoire, from the classics of the past to more contemporary works."
The list of past winners of the Melbourne International Competition includes a raft of great performers. Take a look at our prize recipients dating all the way back to the Inaugural MICMC in 1991.
