Novus Quartet

With their charismatic, youthful image, the members of South Korea's Novus Quartet might be taken as Korean classical music's answer to the country's ubiquitous K-pop boy bands. Their musical approach, however, is traditional; Western-trained, the group has competed successfully in top European prize events and performed across continental Europe, in Britain, and in Japan as well as in its home country. The Novus Quartet was formed in 2007 in Seoul, where all its members had studied at South Korea's National University of the Arts. They immediately made an international splash, placing third in the Osaka International Chamber Music Competition in Japan. Another third prize, at a chamber music competition in Lyon, France, strengthened the group's resolve to test itself in the difficult European scene, and they headed for Germany in 2011 to study at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich. Studying there with professors Christoph Poppen and Hariolf Schlichtig until 2014, they moved that year to the Hochschule für Musik in Lübeck for further work with former Artemis Quartett violinist Heime Müller. They have also been mentored by the Belcea String Quartet under that group's formal "Coaching Scheme." More prizes validated the group's entry into the European scene, including second prize at the ARD International Chamber Music Competition in Munich in 2012. The Novus Quartet began to find major bookings outside Korea, for example at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, the Louvre in Paris, and Musikfest Berlin. During the 2016-2017 season, they made debuts at Wigmore Hall in London and at the Philharmonie in Cologne, winning bookings for return engagements at both. They added the Dresdner Frauenkirche and the new Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin to their résumé in 2017-2018. The quartet released its first album, confidently entitled Novus Quartet #1, in 2016 on the French label Aparte; it contained music by Beethoven, Webern, and Korean composer Isang Yun. A future release devoted to the music of Tchaikovsky was planned.
