The Quartet<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Quarteto Euterpe has been active since 2020, building a profile defined by versatility and an openness to widely different contexts, repertoires and performance formats. The quartet performs in major concert halls and cultural centres as readily as in architectural heritage sites and communities with limited access to culture, without hierarchising contexts or audiences. Its repertoire reflects this openness: from the classical and romantic canon to contemporary music, and extending to a genuine interest in the musics of different communities and cultural traditions, the quartet pursues an eclecticism that is artistically grounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the quartet received funding for the creation of Desvendando um Norte Erudito<\/em>, a project that responded directly to the scarcity of chamber music programming across several regions of northern Portugal. The project comprised six concerts held at significant heritage and museum venues: Casa de Esmeriz (Vila Nova de Famalic\u00e3o), Casa do Vinho (Valpa\u00e7os), Museu de Arte Contempor\u00e2nea Nadir Afonso (Chaves), Museu do C\u00f4a (Vila Nova de Foz C\u00f4a), Museu do Douro (Peso da R\u00e9gua) and Museu Pio XII (Braga). The relationship between repertoire and space became, from this point on, a central working principle for the quartet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quartet performs primarily across northern Portugal, with a consistent presence in Braga, Vila Nova de Famalic\u00e3o and Santo Tirso, and has also appeared in venues throughout the country. Internationally, the quartet made its debut at the Barlach Haus museum in Hamburg as part of the International Mendelssohn Festival, and participated in the ProQuartet courses in Paris and Marseille. In 2025, they were selected for the 16\/4<\/em> academy programme, an initiative of Quarteto de Matosinhos dedicated to the mentoring and development of young portuguese string quartets. Across these platforms, its members have had the opportunity to work with M\u00e1t\u00e9 Sz\u00fccs, Claudio Boh\u00f3rquez and the Auryn Quartet, Fine Arts Quartet, Quarteto de Matosinhos, Cuarteto Casals and Quatuor \u00c9b\u00e8ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Quarteto Euterpe’s goal is to establish itself in national and international chamber music circuits \u2014 a path being built from northern Portugal, with an artistic identity grounded in interpretative rigour and the ambition to expand what a string quartet can do and where it can do it. The quartet is currently deepening its work at the intersection of chamber music and other artistic disciplines, with particular interest in the commissioning of original repertoire, dialogue with media arts, and the exploration of the musics of different communities and cultural traditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
