The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam is forging a reputation as one of the most creative and versatile quartets of its generation. With its ethos of 'sharing the heart of music', the Quartet is committed to crafting unique and eclectic programmes in order to engage with its audiences in new and imaginative ways. The program for Dundee includes a work written for the quartyet by Joey Roukens alongside music of Mozart and Schubert. Having first met as members of the Ricciotti Ensemble, a Dutch street symphony orchestra, the Dudok Quartet studied at the Hochschule fur Musik in Cologne with the Alban Berg Quartet and later at the Dutch String Quartet Academy with Marc Danel. It takes its name from renowned Dutch architect Willem Marinus Dudok (1884-1974). A great lover of music, Dudok came from a musical family and composed in his spare time, saying I feel deeply the common core of music and architecture: after all, they both derive their value from the right proportions.

'The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam was quite simply revelatory. The players persistent delicacy, the freshly thought out balances between instrumental lines, the communication of music so familiar as something new, all added up to a kind of musical spring cleaning that was extraordinarily energising in its effect'. - The Irish Times.
