After being selected as BBC New Generation Artists for the 2015-17 term, the Van Kuijk (pronounced Van Kweek) Quartet joined the ECHO Rising Star roster for the 2017-18 Season. Since their formation in 2012, the ensemble has established a presence in major international venues including Wigmore Hall in London and Auditorium du Louvre in Paris.
The Van Kuijk Quartet, comprised of Nicholas Van Kuijk (violin), Sylvain Favre-Bulle (violin), Emmanuel Francois (viola), and Francois Robin (cello), is in residence at ProQuartet, an incubator for artists of excellence in Paris. The quartet records exclusively for Alpha Classics. Their debut recording, Mozart, was released to outstanding critical acclaim in Autumn 2016 and was followed by a disc of French music in late 2017.
The appearance of the Van Kuijk Quartet is sponsored, in part, by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency. Arts Education Events are sponsored, in part, by the Rotary Club of Joplin Community Fund.
