de Matosinhos

The Matosinhos String Quartet is one of the ECHO Rising Stars. Acclaimed as a "singular case of excellence in the portuguese musical scene" (Público, 2010), since the very beginning all its members were striving towards building a unique string quartet sound and bringing the great string quartet repertoire to audiences. Created as an iniciative of the Matosinhos City Hall, the MSQ has been enjoying a residency and concert season in Matosinhos since 2008, and established itself as a leading ensemble in Portugal, making appearances in most festivals and concert venues. In its more than 100 concerts, the MSQ has premiered works by Carlos Azevedo, Carlos Guedes, Fernando Lapa, Vasco Mendonça, Miguel Azguime, Eurico Carrapatoso, António Chagas Rosa, Álvaro Salazar, Nuno Côrte-Real, Eduardo Patriarca, Paulo Ferreira-Lopes, Telmo Marques, Sérgio Azevedo and António Pinho Vargas.
