The Martinu Quartet, originally the Havlak Quartet, was formed in 1976 by students of the Prague Conservatoire inspired by and modelled on such Czech quartets as the Vlach and the Smetna. They renamed themselves in 1985 reflecting their commitment to promote the work of one of the great masters of Czech music, Bohuslav Martinu - and made prize-winning recordings of his quartets. They take pleasure in seeking out neglected works and in giving first perfomances of pieces by contemporary composers.

The Strad Magazine: 'the Martinu Quartet played...with such extraordinary homogeneity of sound and technical ease that their reading sounded deceptively laid back... [they]showed their gift for finding the emotional heart of a piece. This was an exquisitely crafted and profoundly moving performance'.
