The Quartet takes its name from the Czech composer Pavel Haas (1899-1944) who was imprisoned at Theresianstadt in 1941 and tragically died at Auschwitz three years later. Based in Prague, the Pavel Haas Quartet has studied with some of the masters of the quartet world: Quartetto Italiano, Quatuor Mosaiques, Borodin Quartet and Amadeus Quartet. In spring 2005 the Pavel Haas Quartet won the Paolo Borciani Competition in Italy, and were launched onto the international stage. The Quartet has toured extensively in Europe, and in 2008-9 the Pavel Haas Quartet embarked on major tours of Australia, the USA and Japan, as well as returning to the UK and Germany.

Take note: this is one of the most polished and musically exciting young string quartets in the world today – Washington Post, April 2008
