The Prazak Quartet

The Prazak Quartet – one of today´s leading international chamber music ensembles – was established in 1972 while its members were students at the Prague Conservatory. Since then, the quartet has gained attention for its place in the unique Czech quartet tradition, and its musical virtuosity.
For over 40 years, the Prazak Quartet has been at home on music stages worldwide. They are regular guests in the major European musical capitals – Prague, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan, Madrid, London, Berlin, Munich, etc. – and have been invited to participate at numerous international festivals, where they have collaborated with such artists as Menahem Pressler, Jon Nakamatsu, Cynthia Phelps, Roberto Diaz, Josef Suk, and Sharon Kam.
The Prazak Quartet records exclusively for Praga/Harmonia Mundi which, to date, has released over 30 award-winning CDs. In addition to numerous radio recordings in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic, the Prazak Quartet has also made recordings for Supraphon, Panton, Orfeo, Ottavo, Bonton, and Nuova Era.
In 2010 Pavel Hula succeeded founding first violinist Vaclav Remes, who was unable to continue performing due to medical reasons. Pavel Hula was the long-time first violinist with the Czech-based Kocian Quartet, and has been a close friend of the Prazak Quartet for many years.
