Dudok Quartet Amsterdam

The ensemble named itself after Dutch architect Willem Dudok, who wrote in his diary:[1] I owe more to composers than to any architectural artists.

I feel deeply the common ground between music and architecture: after all, they both derive their value from correct proportions.Since 2017, the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam consists of violinists Judith van Driel and Marleen Wester, violist Marie-Louise de Jong and cellist David Faber.

In the years since 2013, the quartet has been coached during specific projects by Reinbert de Leeuw, Eberhard Feltz and Shunske Sato, among others.

[5] The Dudok Quartet Amsterdam performed with various guest musicians, including pianists Hannes Minnaar, Olga Pashchenko, Shuann Chai and Daria van den Bercken, violists Vladimir Mendelssohn, Lilli Maijala and Shunske Sato, cellists Dmitri Ferschtman, Pieter Wispelwey and Quirine Viersen, vocalist Philippe Jaroussky, and wind players Erik Bosgraaf, the Berlage Saxophone Quartet and Annelien Van Wauwe.

In 2024, the string quartet performed solo with the Dutch Radio Filharmonisch Orkest and conductor Vasily Petrenko during the Saturday Matinee at the Royal Concertgebouw.
