"In this wonderful performance the music's epic scale emerged with unforced strength and grandeur" The Daily Telegraph

Meta4 Quartet is undoubtedly one of the most dynamic string quartets of today. Exciting and infectiously energetic, the Quartet's concerts at Vienna's Mozart Saal, London's Wigmore Hall, Stockholm's Konserthuset and New York's Carnegie Hall received rave notices, especially for their "breathtaking and authoritative" (Classical Source) interpretation of Sibelius's String Quartet in D minor. In 2007, Meta4 won the annual Finland Prize and was chosen as the BBC New Generation Artist 2008-2010.

The Quartet has an impressive repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary. The programme includes Szymanowski’s very rarely performed second string quartet, a new work by Finnish composer Verneri Pohjola, and the passionate quartet by the greatest Finnish master Sibelius.
