## History[edit]

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. They first drew attention by winning the Frits Philips String Quartet competition in Eindhoven (2004), the Vittorio Rimbotti competition in Florence (2005) and the Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York (2006).

In 2014 the quartet became artistic directors of the Rencontres musicales d'Évian [fr]. 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.

## Members[edit]

* Amaury Coeytaux, Loïc Rio: violins
* Laurent Marfaing: viola

Before joining the group, Coeytaux had been concertmaster of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.[1]
