Founding violinist Philippe Bernhard left the group in 2016 and was replaced by Amaury Coeytaux.
The founding members studied with the Ysaÿe Quartet in Paris, attended classes by Walter Levin and György Kurtág in 2004, and had the opportunity to work with the Artemis Quartet at the Universität der Künste in Berlin in 2005.
After a 13-year pause, this festival, created in 1976 by Antoine Riboud and made famous by its former artistic director Mstislav Rostropovich, began a new life through the joint efforts of the Evian Resort and the Modigliani Quartet.
Before joining the group, Coeytaux had been concertmaster of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.
The quartet regularly plays chamber music with Sabine Meyer, Renaud Capuçon, Nicholas Angelich, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, Marie-Elisabeth Hecker, Daniel Müller-Schott and various friends.
